Johnson's claim about EU blockade 'simply not true': Ireland

Ireland's government Sunday dismissed a claim by Prime Minister Boris Johnson that the EU is plotting a blockade between Britain and Northern Ireland, as Brexit talks turn increasingly heated.


"That's simply not the case," Irish Justice Minister Helen McEntee told Sky News. "Any suggestion that this is going to create a new border is simply not true," she said.
