Enda Kenny: No deal yet on avoiding ‘Brexit’

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said a deal aimed at avoiding “Brexit” from the European Union will not be finalised this week as previously expected.

Speaking at a briefing for political correspondents in Dublin, Mr Kenny said a deal will now not be finalised until February at least.

But Mr Kenny did emphasise that Ireland will “support” Prime Minister David Cameron “where we can” at a meeting of EU leaders in Brussels today.
