DUBLIN - Ireland wants a deal on an orderly British exit from the European Union but Britain has so far failed to come up with a written plan, Irish foreign minister Simon Coveney said on Tuesday. “We in the EU ...are open to a deal but it must achieve the aims of the backstop through a legally operable solution,” Coveney told reporters.Asked about plans to manage the land border between Ireland and Northern Ireland - and in particular the location of emergency checks in the event of no-deal - Coveney said he hoped to have clarity on the contentious issue weeks before Britain is due to leave the bloc on October 31.“The response will involve checks somewhere.
