The Taoiseach Has Warned Businesses Will 'Bite Back' If Politicians Can't Agree To A Brexit Deal By Christmas

Leo Varadkar was speaking after EU leaders failed to make substantive progress in negotiations with the UK

The Taoiseach has warned businesses will 'bite back' if politicians can't agree to a Brexit deal by Christmas. 

Leo Varadkar was speaking after EU leaders failed to make substantive progress in negotiations with the UK at a summit this week. 

It does look likely however that Britain will get an extra year after leaving the EU to negotiate a trade deal. 

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says first a withdrawal agreement has to be put together, and it will need to happen soon because businesses will make decisions long before politicians.
