BREXIT AND THE BORDER
The October 31 deadline is fast approaching and yet we seem to be as far as ever from agreeing on a deal for Brexit.
The question of the Irish border continues to be a bone of contention between the Irish and British governments, and in recent weeks, Tánaiste Simon Coveney has described British proposals to solve the issue as “fanciful.”
In a speech that the second most senior person in the Irish government gave at a breakfast hosted by the Irish Consulate in New York, he expressed frustration that
Ireland was spending “hundreds of millions” to prepare for Brexit, which he described as a “problem that is not of our making and that we disagree with.”
