No-deal Brexit a 'real possibility', says Coveney

Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney has said Ireland needs to prepare for the 'worst possible outcome' on Brexit. Mr Coveney said the British political system is 'unpredictable and semi-chaotic at the moment'. He said with a 'deeply divided' parliament Ireland cannot be sure what the outcome of the votes there will be this week. Mr Coveney said a no-deal Brexit has shifted from a 'remote possibility' to a 'real possibility', but said while he personally does not think it will happen, we cannot be sure.
