Taoiseach Opposed To Referendum On United Ireland
The Taoiseach says he's "very much opposed" to holding a referendum on a United Ireland.
Leo Varadkar says it would almost certainly be defeated, and that it would only polarise the communities in the North.
He's again stressed his preference for what he calls an "agreed Ireland" basis on a broad consensus of opinions, north and south.
He made the comments in an interview with TIME Magazine, which will feature him on its front cover of European editions this week.
