The Taoiseach said that the new arrangements made do not change the withdrawal agreement or undermine the backstop, and the 'doubts and fears' raised by Brexiteers can be put to bed.
THE HOUSE OF Commons will be the stage today as British MPs will vote on Theresa May’s Brexit deal, a day after she secured new assurances from the EU that may give her a chance of getting her deal passed.
Varadkar added that what has been agreed “reiterates our wish to have as close as possible a future relationship with the UK”. Speaking last night at a joint press conference, European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker said that the existing withdrawal agreement had not changed, but the guarantees given to the UK “complements the withdrawal agreement without reopening it”.
