Speaking on RTÉ's The Week in Politics, Ms McEntee said that any progress on a way forward between the United Kingdom and the European Union on Brexit could be presented to ambassadors to the European Union tonight or tomorrow morning, but she urged caution at this delicate stage of talks.

Labour MP Peter Kyle said signs are pointing to that Johnson's deal would be bad for the country's economy and a sufficient number of MPs would insist on putting it to a public vote in which the options would be - leaving the bloc with the deal or remaining in the EU.
Writing in The Sunday Telegraph, Mr Rees-Mogg said: 'In the final stages of the Brexit negotiation, compromise will inevitably be needed, something even the staunchest Leavers recognise albeit unwillingly - but as a Leaver Boris can be trusted.

The two governments' proposed new deal, in effect, would resemble the originally proposed Northern Ireland-only backstop, but would allow the United Kingdom government to keep Northern Ireland legally in the United Kingdom customs territory.
Negotiators went behind closed doors for intensive talks in Brussels after Johnson outlined a new set of proposals to Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar on Thursday.
However, Mr Dodds - whose party's votes may be essential if a deal is to get through Parliament - told the Italian La Repubblica newspaper that Northern Ireland "must stay in a full United Kingdom customs union, full stop".
