DUBLIN: Simon Coveney’s intervention comes amid divisions at the heart of the UK Government over the extent to which Britain will diverge from Brussels after leaving the EU.
The Tanaiste and foreign affairs minister used a speech in London to urge Theresa May’s administration to “reflect carefully” on which Brexit options would secure prosperity.
His comments come after Chancellor Philip Hammond caused a storm within Tory ranks for suggesting the UK might only move “very modestly” away from Brussels rules.
