Simon Coveney has said he is “very concerned” Irish trucks will be severely delayed in the UK after January 1 because of Brexit, whether a trade deal is agreed or not.

In an interview with the Irish Examiner, the foreign affairs minister also warned there will be no EU-UK trade agreement if British prime minister Boris Johnson pushes ahead with legislation that would see Britain break international law.
