Ireland needs to send out a message that it is pro-European and rejects Brexit, the Taoiseach has said. Leo Varadkar said voters needed to use their vote in the European elections to demonstrate that they want to stay at the heart of Europe. It comes as speculation mounts that British Prime Minister Theresa May is on the verge of quitting. Demands from Conservative Party MPs for her to resign are continuing to surge following Cabinet turmoil over her Brexit strategy. “It’s really important that here in Ireland we send out a message that we’re pro-European and we want to stay at the heart of Europe,” he said.
