Brexit negotiations on the Irish border are still ongoing. The Irish Prime Minister warns that ties with Britain are starting to be thin.
"The Brexit undermines the agreement on Good Friday and is fighting hard for relations between the United Kingdom and Ireland," Prime Minister Leo Varadkar told RTE on Saturday.
The agreement signed 20 years ago marks the end of three decades of bloody fighting in Northern Ireland. The current situation with an open border between British Northern Ireland and Ireland is exposed in the agreement.

"Anything that attracts the parties in Northern Ireland does not undermine the agreement," Varadkar said.
The discussions on Brexit have been long and have already been marked on several areas before, but the most difficult case has been the question of the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
London and Brussels have very different views on how to reintroduce a "hard border" between the two Irish zones – Ireland remaining in the EU while Northern Ireland expires.
Many fear that the reinstatement of border controls can increase the level of tension and put lives at risk in past conflicts.
