Ireland Braces for Impact of Boris Johnson's No-Deal Brexit

Jamie Dettmer

   LONDON - A no-deal Brexit would cause havoc to the island of Ireland
   and agri-businesses on both sides of the border are fearful of the
   impact.

   So, too, is the Irish government, and is becoming more so after
   Monday's chaotic visit by Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson to
   Luxembourg, during which he skipped a press appearance to avoid
   anti-Brexit protesters and was mocked for doing so by European Union
   leaders.

   British officials accused their EU counterparts of seeking to ambush
   Johnson by refusing to move the press appearance away from the
   protesters.
