Taoiseach Micheál Martin has described the intervention by US President Joe Biden in the disagreement between Britain and the European Union as “significant” and said that it represented “a lot of common sense.”

Joe Biden will tell Boris Johnson not to let the row over Northern Ireland’s Brexit arrangements put the Good Friday Agreement at risk when the pair meet on Thursday.
