Ireland’s prime minister has warned that Brexit negotiations between Britain and the rest of the European Union could turn vicious. A majority of votes – 56% – cast in Northern Ireland in the EU referendum were in favour of remaining. The peace process over the past 25 years has resulted in the Irish border becoming virtually invisible with few restrictions. Flanagan and Kenny will be in Belfast on Thursday to meet all the party leaders in Northern Ireland. Dave Anderson, Labour’s shadow Northern Ireland secretary, said Kenny’s comments “show the huge level of concern in both the north and south of Ireland”.
