DUBLIN/BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The
European Union and
Ireland said on Thursday that Prime Minister Boris Johnson's
Brexit proposals were unlikely to yield a deal, with
Dublin bluntly warning that
Britain was heading toward a no-deal exit unless it made more concessions.
The European Union said it fully backed Ireland and that while it was open to discussions, it was still unconvinced about Johnson's plan - cast by
British officials as the final offer to avert a no-deal Brexit on Oct. 31.
Just 28 days before the
United Kingdom is due to leave the EU, both sides are positioning themselves to avoid blame for a delay or a disorderly no-deal Brexit.
