Hard Brexit Discussed At Cabinet In Cork

The Cabinet has been briefed on the worst-case scenario effects of a hard brexit.

At a special meeting in UCC, both Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney accepted EU leaders will not be allowing talks to move to the 2nd stage as hoped next week.

However Leo Varadkar says that progress could happen by December's EU meeting and no one wants a hard Brexit.
