Crucial Brexit talks begin today

Taoiseach Micheál Martin, European Affairs Minister Thomas Byrne and other EU leaders will begin a two-day European Council summit in Brussels today - with Brexit top of the agenda.

The Taoiseach says he hopes there'll be a positive outcome to the negotiations, but a deal can't come at any price.

 

Fine Gael MEP Frances Fitzgerald says the next couple of weeks are crucial.
