Irish FM Says Breakthrough on Brexit Border Issue 'Doable' by Dec. Summit

"I think it’s doable but I think there’s a need for some movement and more flexibility than we’ve seen to date,” he told reporters.

"We’re not where we need to be today but I do think it is possible to get to where we need to be over the next few days,” he said, according to Reuters.

Avoiding a so-called "hard border” on the island of Ireland is the last major hurdle before Brexit talks can move to negotiations on Britain’s future trade relationship with the EU and a possible two-year Brexit transition deal.
