Irish foreign minister says Brexit deal 'difficult but doable'

Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney on Wednesday said he believed it would be difficult for the European Union to agree a trade deal with Britain in the coming weeks but that it was "doable".

"Reaching a deal in the coming weeks is very difficult, but I also think it is doable. No deal is in nobody's interests," Coveney said in an online event organised by the European Movement Ireland.
