1/ The full Leo Varadkar quote on post-Brexit Britain: 'A consequence of Brexit for Britain is that it will fall into relative economic decline for many decades, probably be overtaken by France again and slowly over time it'll be overtaken by lots of countries in Asia.
2/ 'One of the difficulties for Britain is they're struggling to cope with the fact that as a country and an economy they're not as important in the world as they used to be. There are 100m people living in Vietnam, they're going to be overtaken by Korea, India economically.
3/ 'It's inevitable and that's why most European countries understand why we need to get together, stick together and integrate so we can preserve our way of life, our prosperity, our peace and security.
4/ 'Britain has never really fully accepted that in the way that France and Germany and Italy did after the war.' Q: Maybe Brexit is finally the sun setting on the British Empire? 'Perhaps, but that's their choice, it's their decision. We have to respect the decisions they make.'
