Irish PM says unclear if Northern Ireland protocol deal possible by April

DUBLIN – It's unclear if Britain and the European Union can attain a deal on tweaking post-Brexit commerce guidelines for Northern Eire in time for the mid-April anniversary of the area’s 1998 peace deal, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar stated on Wednesday.

“I believe we might all like to see a decision earlier than the twenty fifth anniversary of the Good Friday Settlement or … earlier than St Patrick’s Day (March 17), however I can’t say if that's doable at this stage,” Varadkar advised parliament.

“When it comes to the timeline for an settlement, there isn't any particular timeline, there isn't any deadline,” he stated.
