Ireland's deputy prime minister Simon Coveney said there was a 'wide gap' between Boris Johnson and the EU in Brexit talks.
The Irish deputy prime minister warned on Friday of potential"civil unrest" on the UK border if Brexit talks fail. He said the country would not be"collateral damage" for Britain's Brexit plans, as he poured cold water on reports that a new deal was close to being negotiated. "We need to be honest with people and say we are not close to that deal right now," he told the BBC. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
