Brexit talks entering 'sensitive phase' - Taoiseach

With just 25 days to go before the UK is scheduled to leave the EU, Mr Varadkar has said that the talks between the UK and the EU on the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement are entering a sensitive phase. Speaking earlier today, the Taoiseach said Ireland was happy to offer clarifications on the backstop, which is designed to avoid a hard border in Ireland, but repeated it could not be time-limited or have a unilateral exit clause.
