Crunch talks continue on the frantic final day of Brexit negotiations
Brexit continues to do its thing as high stakes discussions play out against a rapidly ticking clock.confident of getting a deal across the line
The border has proved to be the most contentious sticking point throughout the entire Brexit process since the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in 2016. The last major obstacle on reaching a deal as of Wednesday concerns the Democratic Unionist Party and their satisfaction regarding a"sensible deal which unionists and nationalists can support," as outlined by DUP head Arlene Foster.
At lunchtime on Wednesday, it seemed that the deadlock was about to be broken as RTÉ News reporter Tony Connelly noted that the DUP were willing to accept the latest proposals on consent in relation to Brexit."That last obstacle has been removed, and the DUP is now accepting this consent element of this revised Withdrawal Agreement," Connelly said, quoting two senior EU sources on RTÉ News at One.
