Brexit extension likely to be flexible - Irish foreign minister

Wed, 23rd Oct 2019 14:42

BELFAST, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Ireland's foreign minister said
he thinks Britain will be offered a flexible extension that
could trigger Brexit well ahead of the new deadline but that the
views of all EU member states were first needed.

"I think that extension will be a flexible one, that will
allow the United Kingdom to leave the EU - if they can get a
deal done - well in advance of the end of that extension period
which looks like it will be the end of January," Simon Coveney
told an audience in Belfast on Wednesday.

"Let's wait and see how that develops and let's also wait
and see whether there are issues with other EU leaders."
