"British politics is consumed by Brexit and will be consumed by Brexit for a very long time. It means we are now entering a new phase when it comes to Brexit, and a phase that may be a very dangerous one for Ireland", stated Varadkar.
"We may see the election of a eurosceptic prime minister who wants to repudiate the withdrawal agreements and go for no deal. Or we may see a new British government that wants a closer relationship with the EU and goes for a second referendum," the Irish prime minister warned.
