Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Brexit negotiations are ongoing. The view of Government is crystal clear. We will not support any form of hard border at any point. We have made it a priority of the EU task force, which is negotiating these issues, to ensure there is no Border infrastructure whatsoever within the Border or on the island of Ireland. That is our focus, regardless of what other parties have been adding to that conversation.
