Sinn Fein says 'nothing is agreed until it's agreed'

The party is still concerned about the robustness of the deal between the UK and Ireland as discussions head into Phase Two on Brexit.

Following the EU Council Summit Leo Varadkar said he's confident the joint agreement reached last week will provide a backstop or safety net providing no hard border, by maintaining regulatory alignment on the island of Ireland.

But Sinn Fein spokesperson on Brexit, David Cullinane, says the benchmark they have set remains the same, and their concerns for the people in Northern Ireland remain the same.
