EUROPEAN UNION CHIEF Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier and his team will visit Dublin on Monday.
The Department of An Taoiseach confirmed Barnier’s visit which comes in advance of next Wednesday’s European Council meeting.
Barnier will hold talks with Leo Varadkar, Tánaiste Simon Coveney and Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe.
The aim of Barnier’s visit is to take stock of developments in London as well as the ongoing planning for a possible “no-deal” scenario, according to a government spokesperson.
Barnier’s visit follows the visit of German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday and Varadkar’s meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday.
