Ireland s foreign minister Simon Coveney (Image: Twitter/Simon Coveney) We have delivered this great deal for the entire United Kingdom in record time, and under extremely challenging conditions, which protects the integrity of our internal market and Northern Ireland s place within it. We have got Brexit done and we can now take full advantage of the fantastic opportunities available to us as an independent trading nation, striking trade deals with other partners around the world.
Ireland s Foreign Minister Simon Coveney welcomed the deal and said there will not be a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
Mr Coveny also said Ireland s place in the Single Market remains safe.
