Britain made a choice to “turn back the clock” on some of its closest international relationships by deciding to leave the European Union, Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe has said.
Speaking in Washington DC on the first day of a four-day visit to the east coast of the United States, Mr Donohoe said that regulatory convergence could be maintained across the island of Ireland after Brexit.
