Brexit: Ireland's Enda Kenny backs charging UK for EU divorce

The Irish premier has indicated he backs the idea of charging the UK to leave the EU - a bill that many believe would be about £50bn.

As the PM meets EU leaders for the last time before Article 50 is triggered, Ireland's Enda Kenny told Sky News Political Editor Faisal Islam: "When you sign on for a contract you commit yourself to participation. And obviously the extent of that level of money will be determined."

Mr Kenny, who made the comments as he arrived at the EU Council meeting in Brussels, said the bloc's chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, would lead any such negotiations.

"Britain will have a say," added Mr Kenny.
