Brexit deal likely to be reached by October 31; Irish PM says
Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said on Thursday that he believed a Brexit deal was likely to be reached on October 31.
The Prime Ministers of the U.K and Ireland released a joint statement saying that they saw a potential pathway to a Brexit deal.
“The Prime Minister (Boris Johnson) and Taoiseach (Varadkar) have had a detailed and constructive discussion,” the joint statement said. “Both continue to believe that a deal is in everybody’s interest. They agreed that they could see a pathway to a possible deal.”
However, the press release has yet to release further details.
Vardkar added that he was “absolutely convinced” a deal could likely be reached by the end of October when the U.K. would leave the European Union.
