UK group warn of ‘challenge’ for Ireland

A senior group in the British House of Lords says Brexit is a 'huge challenge' for Ireland.

Its EU Committee has released a special report, calling on all parties in the upcoming talks on the process to give official recognition to the 'unique' nature of UK-Irish relations.

The House's EU Committee has considered the implications for the economy and cross border trade, the common travel area and the movement of goods and people.

It has also looked at the implications for the peace process.

The report is the first of six on Brexit that the committee will publish over the next six days.
