Ireland must be kept at forefront of Brexit negotiations - Carthy

The Irish question must stay at the forefront of the Brexit negotiations at all times. That’s the warning from the Sinn Fein MEP Matt Carthy. His recommendation follows recent comments by the UK's chief Brexit negotiator David Davis. During an interview last weekend, Mr Davis caused confusion when he seemed to suggest the recently agreed deal on maintaining a soft Irish border post Brexit, was more a statement of intent than a legally enforceable thing. Mr Davis later said his comments had been twisted. MEPS will debate the Brexit deal this Wednesday in the European Parliament in Strasbourg. They will vote on whether they believe 'sufficient progress' has been made to move the talks on to the next phase of negotiations. Here’s Matt Carthy.

Out words: political pressure.
