Coveney: We shouldn't write off Brexit Summit

(14 Oct 2019) Ireland's foreign minister on Monday said Brexit negotiations could well spill beyond this week and go right down to the wire at the end of the month.

Simon Coveney said it was "too early to say if it is possible to get a breakthrough this week or whether it will move into next week".

He was speaking at the EU foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg.

Originally, this week was seen as the do-or-die week, with a two-day EU summit starting Thursday and a special UK House of Commons debate slated for Saturday.
