Ireland's foreign minister @simoncoveney says people should not underestimate Theresa May's ability to get the WA through Parliament.
In an interview with @rtenews he says: “People have underestimated Theresa May over and over again. I think they’re wrong to.
"I think she is a very steely, determined person. I think she has got a good deal for Britain – for the United Kingdom as a whole, I should say – and she has followed through on her commitments to Ireland and the EU.
“We should not accept that premise that it’s not going to be passed in Westminster. I think we all have a job to do to explain it and reassure people of what’s in this text.
“If you listen to what business are saying in Nothern Ireland, in most parts of the United Kingdom, obviously in Ireland as well, people are saying this is a deal we should accept. The absence of agreement on this deal means a lot of uncertainty, a lot of chaos quite frankly...
"and the potential for the Brexit project…to unravel altogether.” Mr Coveney said Mrs May was offering people a stark choice between a compromise deal that allowed for a “managed, sensible Brexit” that protected both EU and British interests, and a “chaotic” no deal.
