A Brexit deal is still possible despite Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party announcing it cannot support the current proposals offered by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the European Union, said Housing Minister Robert Jenrick on Thursday, APA reports citing BBC.
"I believe that's possible but there's clearly a considerable amount of work to be done in the hours to come," he said.
"Be assured that the prime minister and his team are in intensive negotiations with all parties, including with the DUP, and we want to provide sufficient comfort for the DUP and for unionists in Northern Ireland to feel that the arrangements that we would put in place with this deal are sufficient to give them comfort to support it," Jenrick added.
Earlier DUP leader Arlene Foster said she could not support what is being suggested on customs and consent issues.
"As things stand, we could not support what is being suggested on customs and consent issues and there is a lack of clarity on VAT," DUP leader Arlene Foster and deputy leader Nigel Dodds said in a statement.
