Leo Varadkar says there'll be countries around the world 'scratching their head' and wondering if they should ever get into agreements or treaties with the United Kingdom after all of this.
Feels weird to have a "#Brexit" in a tweet after all this time.
Brexit finds a way.
Varadkar tells @morningireland: New #COVID19 plan will be ready next week including a new policy on international travel.
He dodges whether our laws here are too strict... but says "Once a virus is established in a country... (international travel) doesn't contribute very much"
Varadkar says the #Debenhams workers have been "very badly treated by their employer" throughout the dispute.
He says Govt will ensure they'll get two weeks of statutory redundancy... but says it would be against the law to go further.

TDs Michael Collins, Mattie McGrath and Danny Healy Rae are at AIB HQ “demanding a meeting with senior management” over the move to make 70 branches nationwide cashless.
Live from Nakatomi Plaza… I mean, Molesworth Place.
The media massiv waits outside. AIB has already announced it’s pulling out of the cashless move
United States offering a reward of up to $5,000,000 for information leading to the disruption of the Kinahan organisation - or the arrest and conviction of the three leaders of the Kinahan group.
Garda Commissioner Drew Harris says he hopes today will be a crippling blow to the Kinahans.
He says the OCG is believed to have made over €1bn in revenue.
"This is only the first phase of this initiative," says Harris - who says other nations in Spain, the Netherlands and beyond have already offered huge help and will continue to play a major role.
A major, major step by Gardaí and law enforcement in the US and UK against the Kinahan group.
The US sanctions mean American institutions can't work with the Kinahans or associated businesses.
Property and credit lines blocked, cards frozen, can't fly with American carriers.
“Criminal groups like the KOCG prey on the most vulnerable in society and bring drug-related crime and violence, including murder, to the countries in which they operate."
Brian E Nelson, US under-secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.
