Following the Brexit talks, the key issue for Ireland will be the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the EU and how that will impact on us. Nobody yet knows the outcome of these negotiations and whether it may involve an amendment to the European treaties. If that is the case, it will necessitate a referendum here in Ireland. Can the Taoiseach confirm that it is not possible at this stage to rule out a referendum on the future relationships between the UK and the EU, in view of the importance of it for Ireland?
