Ireland’s relationship with the UK – and
the situation with Northern Ireland in particular – is being ignored when it
comes to the Brexit negotiations. That’s according to the Sinn Fein MEP Matt
Carthy who was speaking in the European Parliament. Mr Carthy’s comments
followed the European Commission President’s State of the Union address to MEPs
this morning. During his speech Mr Juncker referred to the Brexit vote and he warned
that there would be no a la carte access to the Single Market. However, Matt
Carthy says Mr Juncker’s views reflect a lack of understanding of the Irish
situation.
