Ireland’s Europe Minister Helen McEntee said today that UK’s Article 50 extension, if sought, will need to have a purpose. She said “If they were to ask for an extension I think it would be approved … but there is no point in looking for an extension if we end up back to the same place as we are now in three months’ time”.
Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl now said “there are lots of signs that indicate a hard Brexit.” And, she added “that is my estimation”.
