RTÉ News’ Europe Editor Tony Connelly, who broke the story of the EU and the UK negotiators agreeing on text for Irish border, recently tweeted out a statement from a spokesman for Ireland’s foreign minister Simon Coveney that read:
“Negotiations between the EU and UK on a Withdrawal Agreement are ongoing and have not concluded. Negotiators are still engaged and a number of issues are outstanding. We are not commenting further on leaks in the media.”
