Taoiseach Enda Kenny and other EU leaders will travel to Brussels later this week for their first European summit encounter with the British prime minister who plans to lead her country out of the union in 2019.

Theresa May will attend her first European Council summit on Thursday and Friday of this week and while Brexit is not on the formal agenda for the talks, it is likely to be discussed informally at the pre-summit dinner on Thursday evening and on the margins of Friday’s meeting.
