Ireland demands May keep promise on Brexit border

Ireland insists British Prime Minister Theresa May makes good on commitments to provide a "backstop" plan to ensure Brexit does not create a disruptive hard border with Northern Ireland, Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said on Monday.

Speaking as he arrived to meet fellow EU ministers in Luxembourg, Coveney told reporters that he was frustrated but calm after Brexit negotiations stalled on Sunday and said that he believed a deal was still possible after a summit this week.
