The Taoiseach Enda Kenny has met the British Prime Minister Theresa May over the course of the day and have held talks in Dublin on Brexit.
During a news conference at Government Buildings in Dublin, Kenny said that the common interests of the UK and Ireland remain strong even if, in his opinion, we are going in different directions as countries.
Kenny said that trading ties between the two countries are “in our very best interests” of both countries and that no hard border should be imposed.
Mrs May said that she agreed on the importance of maintaining the Common Travel Area between both Ireland and the UK.
