In any case the UK authorities will probably be exhausting at work, with negotiations with the EU over the post-Brexit settlement for Northern Eire quickly coming to a head. The problem isn’t on the formal agenda for the assembly of EU member state heads in Brussels on Thursday, however London hopes it could actually make progress in discussions with these European leaders within the coming days.
