"The European Union commits to agreeing, before March 29 2019, to an extension until May 22, provided the Withdrawal Agreement is approved by the House of Commons next week," read a draft agreement seen by Reuters as EU leaders met in Brussels.

But no-deal, if it happens, will be a British choice," he emphasised. The Taoiseach said it was the UK who chose Brexit in the first place and it was they who fixed the March 29 deadline.
