Varadkar says 'troops could return to the border'

The Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar has warned troops could return to the border in the event of a botched Brexit.

The taoiseach said a hard border could "involve people in uniform... possibly a police presence, or an army presence to back it up".

Mr Varadkar told Bloomberg TV that Ireland had been "victimised" by the Brexit process.
