Ireland's Europe Minister: 'A no-deal Brexit is still a possibility'

Description

EU leaders have agreed to a request by British Prime Minister Theresa May to delay the Brexit process. A no-deal Brexit is no longer going to happen on March 29, but it remains a possibility for the near future. Is this extension a relief, or is it just kicking the can down the road? Ireland's European Affairs Minister, Helen McEntee, spoke to Catherine Nicholson at the European summit in Brussels.
