The Taoiseach says the backstop is off the table in this week's Brexit talks.

Leo Varadkar made the comments ahead of an EU Council summit in Brussels.

The British Prime Minister has travelled to Brussels with the aim of getting more concessions from EU leaders on the backstop.

Theresa May is hopeful those concessions would help pass the withdrawal agreement through her parliament.
