Taoiseach To Meet European Council President In Dublin Today

The Taoiseach will meet the European Council President in Dublin today - with just 10 days to go until Brexit.

Donald Tusk and Leo Varadkar's meeting comes ahead of a crucial summit of EU leaders later this week.

The British Prime Minister is expected to formally request an extension beyond the March 29th deadline.

Theresa May's hopes of getting the deal through the UK Parliament were dealt a blow yesterday.

It's after House of Commons speaker John Bercow ruled it couldn't be voted on for a third time, unless it had significant changes.

Conservative MP and solicitor general Robert Buckland hopes Bercow's intervention will lead to a breakthrough.
