The Minister for Foreign Affairs says he'll update Cabinet on the Brexit trade deal on Tuesday
The 1,246-page deal has been examined by Irish officials after it was signed on Christmas Eve
Ministers will be asked to approve the terms of the agreement, as part of an EU-wide effort to ensure it comes into force provisionally before the end of the year.
Simon Coveney says Ireland has "defended itself against the vulnerabilities Brexit forced upon us".
He says there will still be some changes to the status quo on January 1st, and Cabinet will discuss supports for the most affected sectors.
