The Irish Times | March 20, 2019
The Government has an open mind on whether the European Union should grant a long or short extension of article 50 to the UK at this week’s summit, according to sources involved in high-level discussions on the subject. Ministers will discuss Brexit preparations on Wednesday when the Cabinet meets at Government Buildings in advance of this week’s crucial summit in Brussels, which will conclude just a week before the UK is due to leave the EU.
