The President of the European Commission says Brexit has thrust Ireland and the rest of the EU closer together. Ursula von der Leyen made the comments during an address to both houses of the Oireachtas today.
She said Ireland has benefited from what she called the “iron-clad” solidarity of the Union and its members states. And she told the Oireachtas, “Brexit will not become an obstacle on the path of reconciliation in Ireland”.
The EU boss even prompted laughter from members when she quoted a line from (Irish band) The Saw Doctors.
Out words: of Ireland (with laughter)
