Varadkar: three way Ireland-UK-EU negotiation 'not in our interest'

Simon Coveney rules out any Brexit side talks with Britain

Simon Coveney rules out any Brexit side talks with Britain

Challenged on her claim by the shadow Brexit minister, Jenny Chapman, who pointed to the presence of armed customs guards on the US-Canada border, May said it was just one of several examples being examined.

The comments came after the Prime Minister on Sunday suggested Mr Varadkar had agreed to form three-way talks to look at the Irish border element of the proposals she outlined on Friday.

A report reflecting young people's attitudes to Brexit will be presented to members of the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly at it's next meeting.

But any deviation of Northern Ireland from the rest of the United Kingdom, anathema to unionists, could cause serious injury to Ireland's trade with the United Kingdom if the British government considers the EU-Irish position on border intolerable and chooses to have "no deal" on trade - with the risk of significant tariffs being brought into force as a result.

The issue of the border is one of the most complex problems to be resolved in the Brexit process and Mrs May said the British Government was examining examples from around the world.

The Irish republic will remain an European Union member, meaning after Brexit the border with Northern Ireland will become the only European Union border within the UK. While the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland now trade power on the single electricity market (SEM) - a new wholesale electricity market, dubbed I-SEM, is due to go live later this year - Brexit stands to seriously impact this arrangement due to the separate legal requirements that would come into effect post-Brexit.

Children's Rights, Children's Voices is the outcome of a unique cross-border conference hosted by the Ombudsman for Children's Office and the Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People.

Before Mrs May's statement, the Varadkar said: "There won't be tripartite or three-way talks".

"That's not in our interest and not the way that this can be concluded".

"[One of the] greatest issues is uncertainty... we want to maintain regulatory alignment at the very least", she said.

Mrs May has been criticised for failing to give any more detail on how to avoid a hard Border in Ireland in a major speech last week.

"The Taoiseach is absolutely correct to say that the substantive negotiation is between the British government on one hand and the European Union member states collectively on the other and in our view it is important to maintain that dynamic", she said.

Delivering a landmark speech on Friday afternoon, May revealed how she meant to shape the UK's future economic relationship with the European Union after the nation formally leaves.

She has proposed technological solutions and an exemption from new restrictions on the 80% of cross-frontier trade carried out by smaller businesses.

She reiterated the need to "strike a new balance" adding: "We can not escape the complexity of the task ahead".

"But with pragmatism, calm and patient discussion, I am confident we can set an example to the world".

"We must build a new and lasting relationship while preparing for every scenario", May said.
