Irish Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed on Wednesday repeated his government's position that no time limit can be set on the "backstop" in Britain's Withdrawal Agreement with the European Union.

"It cannot be time-limited. It was negotiated in good faith on the basis of red lines insisted upon by the UK government, informed by DUP concerns," Creed told national broadcaster RTE.
