Reuters (HERE) are quoting the Irish PM Enda Kenny saying the Britain cannot have tariff free access to the single market without allowing freedom of movement.
"Let me tell you that around the European Council table, that is an issue that will not be given in on," Kenny said in an interview with Ireland's Newstalk radio station. The Irish have a particular vested interest in making sure our relationship is as close as possible. They are the friend who is speaking honestly to us and yet the UK government continues to insist it is working to avoid damaging the economy while controlling (reducing?) immigration.
The objective might be laudable but it continues to look impossible. Sooner or later some very hard choices will have to be made.
