Negotiations with Britain in relation to securing a Brexit deal are “in a difficult place” Simon Coveney has said. But he warned that the British have deliberately and openly “moved away” from legal commitments made by them less than six months ago. There was an expectation that we would see more from the British side but that didn’t happen. The British are seeking to do sectoral deals in areas where they have an interest,” he added. The biggest problem is that the UK is not adhering to the approach agreed only six months ago in the political declaration,” Mr Coveney added.
