Ireland issues warning to Sec of State for Exiting EU over Brexit

Dublin, Dec 11: The Irish Government has issued a warning to David Davis, Secretary of State for Exiting European Union, over the agreement reached with the EU over the Irish border may not be “legally enforceable” and was merely a “statement of intent.”

Mr Davis told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show that the joint agreement between London and Brussels published on Friday might not be enacted if no free trade agreement was reached between the two sides, casting into doubt important reassurances over the border between Northern Ireland and the republic.

The Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said the deal was “politically bullet-proof” and “cast iron”.
