The Irish Republic’s Europe minister, Helen McEntee, told Humphrys that it was not contemplating quitting the EU with polls showing 92% of the population wanted to remain in the bloc and Irexit was not plausible.

The former MP for Vauxhall suggested an Irexit would soon be on the cards after the UK left the EU. How wrong she was!
