Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says Ireland could support a one year extension to the transition, but that it could not be a substitute for the Irish backstop.
Varadkar said the backstop could be temporary, but “only unless and until” another solution was agreed that would guarantee no hard border on the island of Ireland
Ahead of the #EUCO summit he said the UK had already agreed in March that a backstop was necessary and required to be in the WA. This was now “a matter of trust”
