Prime Minister (Taoiseach) of Ireland Leo Varadkar speaks during a news conference at Government buildings in Dublin, Ireland, March 8, 2018. "The next few weeks will rightly see a focus on Brexit. ... We face enormous challenges from Brexit, which has undoubtedly changed the political climate in Northern Ireland," Varadkar said in the text of a speech due to be delivered at an event in Washington celebrating 20 years of peach in Northern Ireland. "After that, I believe the period after Easter (April 1) should see a redoubled effort on the part of both Governments and all of the parties in Northern Ireland to seek agreement on the restoration of the institutions. "Describing the lack of a devolved government as "corrosive and damaging" for the province, Varadkar said the governments may need to present their own proposals to help the parties break the deadlock, as they have successfully done in the past.
