Leo Varadkar served as Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland from 2017 to 2020 and again from 2022 to 2024.
I think other European countries were afraid that if Brexit was successful, then that might inspire movements [to leave the European Union] in their own countries.
Now, we have a UK Government that has no interest in rejoining the European Union, but does want a close relationship with the EU again.
There's power sharing in Northern Ireland, North-South bodies that allow [Northern Ireland and Ireland] to cooperate better, and East-West bodies that allow Britain and Ireland to cooperate better.
What we have in Northern Ireland is a compulsory coalition, where all the major parties have to form a government together.
