DUBLIN (Reuters) – The Brexit has compromised the deal on Good Friday, which puts an end to thirty years of violence in Northern Ireland, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said on Saturday.

"Brexit has undermined the Good Friday deal and is eroding relations between Britain and Ireland," he told Irish television RTE.

The border between Ireland and Northern Ireland after Brexit was one of the stumbling blocks to the UK negotiations to leave the EU in March next year.

"Anything that distinguishes communities in Northern Ireland hurts the deal on Good Friday and anything that sets Britain apart from Ireland undermines those relationships," added Varadkar.
