Agreement has now been reached on three key issues: Britain's Brexit "divorce" bill, the rights of EU citizens in the UK after Brexit, and the Irish border. Irish border: The Irish question proved the toughest to resolve. Rights of EU citizens after Brexit: EU citizens living in the UK and vice versa will have their rights to live, work and study protected. Speaking alongside Juncker in the Belgian capital, May said the agreement was "fair to the British taxpayer" and resolved the outstanding issues of the Irish border. In Northern Ireland we will guarantee there will be no hard border, and we will uphold the (Good Friday Agreement)."
