Enda Kenny says he would like to see a United Ireland – but has ruled out pursuing the idea in BREXIT talks.
The Taoiseach says he’s instead focussing on making sure the possibility is retained after the UK leaves the European Union.

The Taoiseach says he doesn’t want to invoke that idea now, and instead wants to retain it for future use.
