Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said he hopes to meet British prime minster Boris Johnson in New York next week amid renewed optimism that a deal on Brexit is possible before the October 31st deadline

.

“We hope to meet up in New York next week if possible and carry on our discussions from there,” said the Taoiseach. Asked about the call of the Finnish prime minister Antti Rinne for a September 30 deadline for any British proposal on Brexit, the Taoiseach said that the way Europe worked meant that proposals need to be “teed up” for the EU Summit on October 17th.

He pointed out that the two most affected countries would be Britain and Ireland while most EU countries would be “barely affected at all”.Earlier at the ploughing, Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said said a marked change of tone and position by Unionist leaders in recent days has made an orderly Brexit by the end of October a real possibility.

“The Armageddon of a no deal must be avoided. A no deal is damaging to the British economy, particularly damaging to the Northern Irish economy and to the republic.The reason there has not been written proposals tabled is because because anything that gets tabled gets leaked very quickly.He said the Irish and British governments, as well as Northern parties, had been much more creative in the past over far more difficult issues, associated with reaching the Good Friday Agreement.

optimism is good just get everything in writing.......

3yrs ago,Trump gave May the itinerary,she gave it to Kenny who went with a bowl of shamrock to collect his P45 from Trump. Now both Boris and Leo will be told how it shall be! None of you listened when I told you all this 3.5yrs ago. I wasn’t wrong then.

'renewed optimism'?Jesus wept. I'm optimistic I will lose half a stone by eating a full tub of Ben and Jerrys

Why dont they both go to Japan take in the World Cup as well
