The cabinet of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar may agree to mend the draft for the part of the Brexit deal in order to achieve a breakthrough, the Independent wrote on Wednesday, quoting unnamed insiders. The head of the Government of Ireland is said to be receptive of a "clarification" which would be included in the document in order to appease the Democratic Unionist Party, which supports British Prime Minister Theresa May, as she depends on its votes.
DUP's leader Arlene Foster has rejected a potential regime which would tie trading regulations in Northern Ireland to the republic south of the border. She compared it to establishing a frontier in the Irish Sea. May didn't show the draft to the small party this week, and negotiations with the European Union collapsed.
Ireland's Prime Minister Varadkar is ready to accept a line to be added to the text to highlight the integrity of the United Kingdom, a source said.
