Irish senator: 'Brexit will not be easy'


Neale Richmond from the Fine Gail party and Chair of the Irish Senate's Brexit Committee acknowledges that resolving the 'hard border' issue between the UK and Ireland post-Brexit is not going to be easy. Theresa May's cabinet has agreed on a proposal that would see the UK match EU tariffs after 2020, if there is no deal on their preferred customs arrangements.
