EU sources downplay prospects of Brexit breakthrough

"There's no breakthrough yet. There have been some political commitments, but they haven't translated into the shape of a deal yet," one senior EU source told RTÉ News.

Under the plan, which revives elements of Theresa May's New Customs Partnership idea from June 2018, Northern Ireland would remain in the UK customs territory but would apply the EU's tariff regime. One source said the chance of a deal at next week's EU summit were "very difficult, but not impossible".
