This comes after a 'positive' meeting between Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar and Britain's Boris Johnson.

A Brexit deal could be clinched by the end of October to allow the United Kingdom to leave the European Union in an orderly fashion, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said after what he called a very positive meeting with Boris Johnson.

"But there's many a slip between cup and lip and lots of things that are not in my control," he said. To get a done deal, Johnson must master the complexities of the Irish border before getting the approval of Europe's biggest powers and then sell any deal to the British Parliament, in which he has no majority and which he suspended unlawfully last month.

Although Johnson has insisted Britain will leave the EU on Oct 31, even if no agreement is reached, the British Parliament has passed a law saying he must request a delay. The Withdrawal Agreement that May struck says the United Kingdom will remain in a customs union"unless and until" alternative arrangements are found to avoid a hard border.
