Barnier says UK must offer "concrete plan" for Brexit extension

Michel Barnier has said EU leaders will need to hear a “concrete plan” from the UK in order to agree to any extension of the Brexit process.

At a press conference this afternoon, the chief EU negotiator said leaders will have to consider whether an extension will increase the chances of getting the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement approved by the UK Parliament.

He warned that agreeing to an extension without a clear plan would have economic and political costs for the EU – and leaders will have to consider whether the process would be likely to end up in the “same situation” a few months down the line.

Mr Barnier noted that the current withdrawal agreement was “the only treaty available” and remains the “only possible basis” for the UK to leave with a deal.

It comes after the FAI chief executive confirmed he made a “once-off bridging loan” worth €100,000 to the association to help it with a “very short-term cash flow issue” in 2017.

He said it was the only time he gave the association a short-term loan and said it “repaid in full” in June 2017.
