    KASPress Ireland 24.06.16 – 30.06.16 Welcome to KASPress Ireland, our weekly summary of relevant and interesting news from the Irish press. Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung News Summary London Office Top Story Minister for Foreign Affairs Charlie Flanagan has ruled out a Border poll following the Brexit referendum. He told the Seanad that although he understood the motivations of those who called for a referendum, for such a poll to be held, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland must determine that a majority of the electorate would opt for a united Ireland. At present, there was no evidence to suggest that would be the case. To read more on this story, click here. Politics Taoiseach Enda Kenny has landed himself in a Brexit row after telling EU leaders that Scotland shouldn't be "dragged out" of the European Union. Mr Kenny made the unprecedented intervention in front of British Prime Minister David Cameron at the European Council "on behalf" of Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. To read more on this story, click here. Brexit will not affect Budget 2017 but its longer term effects on Ireland could be serious depending on what deal the UK agrees with the EU, Minister for Finance Michael Noonan has said. To read more on this story, click here. Enda Kenny yesterday clashed with members of the Independent Alliance, who are demanding a free vote on a bill that allows for terminations in cases of fatal foetal abnormality. The Taoiseach was forced to adjourn yesterday's Cabinet meeting without agreement after ministers Shane Ross and Finian McGrath had insisted that TDs should be allowed to vote with their consciences.

This briefing document is produced as a result of the EAPN Focus on Poverty in Ireland project, which started in December 2006.
