Kenny: “Ireland has absolutely no intention in following the UK out of the European Union”




The Taoiseach Enda Kenny has revealed that Ireland have absolutely no intention in following the UK out of the European Union.

The Taoiseach comments come as he wraps up his week long visit to the US. Mr Kenny told reporters in New York that he was more confident than ever about the EU’s future after an historic victory for the centre ground in the Dutch election.

Mr Kenny also said it would be a mistake if Ireland left the EU, and claimed the country’s social progress in the last 30 years was due to the formation of the EU.

Mr Kenny said: “To continue to succeed as an open economy and welcoming society, we must and we will remain at the very heart of Europe.”

“It is not a trigger for Ireland to follow suit and leave the European Union with the United Kingdom, we will not do so.”
