“It is now more important than ever that the Irish Government stands strong against any movement in Brexit talks before an agreement is reached which protects the all-Ireland economic, social and political framework
“The Irish Government has a major responsibility to defend and uphold the Good Friday Agreement in all its parts and to ensure that the British Government does not re-impose a hard border on the Island of Ireland.
