Taoiseach told snap election must follow a deal on Brexit

[GerryT]

And what do you think will upset the the Irish electorate

I'm not really up with Irish politics, but from what you say, Gerry, that would be the UK leaving on WTO clean break terms. (aka no deal)  :shock:

Well that would upset people, but what would upset people more is the introduction of a land border and the possibility of opening closed wounds, violence, a backward step.

There are those that want a trade deal with the UK, I'm in that camp, there are also those that wouldn't worry about the hardship that would hit the UK post a hard brexit. There wouldn't be too many worried about the UK being on WTO, mainly farmers.

Seems a bit unlikely Barry, but we can dream

I imagine that writes little Leo out of the Brexit negotiations. He won't do anything controversial for fear of upsetting the Irish electorate.
