Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar says progress being made on Brexit

Irish PM Varadkar speaking in parliament

• We're not at Brexit decision point just yet
• We have support from EU on border talks
• Brexit situation is rapidly evolving, changes on a daily basis
• There will be no need to use or threaten veto
• There's lots of progress on financial settlement

Cable not jumping on these comments. Not that we're all surprised, I presume. There's been a lot of Brexit talks over the last two days, but basically most people would agree that yesterday's talks/rumours were more promising than the official comments made today.

"Progress has been made, but not enough progress yet", according to Leo Varadkar

Update: Meanwhile, Northern Ireland's DUP's Diane Dodds came out with a statement here saying that Northern Ireland will leave the single market and customs union alongside Britain. And that Brexit must address challenges facing the border.
