Ireland's finance minister Paschal Donohoe says any review clause for the backstop, as alluded to by the Taoiseach @campaignforleo, would have to be agreed by all sides.
“Crucially, such a review has two pieces of context. The first one is, it has to be something that can only happen if all the different parties to it want to see a role in making that review happen, secondly it can only happen in the context of an actual backstop being in place.”
"The British govt have given commitments twice over the last year in relation to recognising the need for a backstop, and they have affirmed now on many, many different occasions the commitment they have to ensuring there’s no possibility of a hard border returning on our island.
"We want to see that commitment honoured. I believe PM May is approaching this issue in good faith, but in order for that commitment to be honoured, the government and the European Union need to see a backstop in place that can cater for changes that might happen in the future.”
