Ireland thinks there is now a significant risk of a disorderly Brexit and is taking measures to protect itself from any legal consequences, Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe said on Tuesday, 9 July.
“From the point of view of the Irish government, we now believe that the prospect of a disorderly Brexit occurring is now a significant risk,” Donohoe said.
He added that he believed the EU’s new leaders, emerging from elections in May, would keep showing Ireland the same level of support during Brexit talks.
