Ireland warns of a worse relationship with UK

dublin - The Irish Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, has warned Saturday that the relations between Ireland and the United Kingdom are likely to 'fall apart' as a result of UK withdrawal from the European Union. In this way, Varadkar is reinvigorating the pressure now that the British-European negotiations on the Irish border seem to continue to stall.

Varadkar warns that the Brexit also threatens to undermine the Good Friday Agreement. That agreement put an end to three decades of violence in Northern Ireland twenty years ago. The current open border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic is also regulated in that agreement.
