Leo Varadkar was taoiseach during the intense phase of Brexit, when Irish border took centre stage.
Leo Varadkar was taoiseach during the most intense phase of Brexit, when the Irish border was central to negotiations.
Its Brexit bottom line was that there could be no hard border and Ireland’s place in the EU should be undisturbed.There is a perception among some Brexit supporters that Ireland’s approach hardened when Mr Varadkar became taoiseach and that his predecessor Enda Kenny would have been a friendlier, more accommodating partner for the UK.The EU’s negotiating guidelines of April 2017 had the avoidance of a hard border in Ireland as one of its three priorities.
Throughout the second half of 2017 EU and UK negotiators laboured to find a way to square Theresa May’s hard Brexit with a soft Irish border. He showed them a story from that day’s Irish Times about the IRA bombing of a customs post in 1972 in which nine people were killed. "But there’s a very big difference I think, between warning or expressing concern about violence, and threatening it, and I certainly didn’t do that.”Leo Varadkar had a new UK counterpart in July 2019 when Boris Johnson replaced Theresa MayHe promised to ditch the backstop but by October, he was proposing an "all-island regulatory zone" which would effectively keep Northern Ireland in the EU's single market for agriculture, food and all manufactured goods.
