Ireland's Coveney sees 'path to a deal'; fishing biggest issue

Ireland's Foreign Minister Simon Coveney on Thursday said he believed there was a path to a trade deal between Britain and the European Union, adding that fishing was now the most difficult issue to be resolved.

"We believe that with political will there is now a path to a deal," Coveney told parliament. "I hope the existing gaps can be closed with realism and a sense of fairness on both sides."
