Irish Prime minister Leo Varadkar was out with some additional comments in the last hour and said that we are at a sensitive point in Brexit negotiations and a deal is possible in the next couple of weeks. 

Additional quotes:

   •  The aim of backstop is to give everyone the assurance that there will not be a hard border.
   •  My objective on trade is to stop the emergence of any new borders.
   •  We are not the ones seeking any new checks or borders.
   •  There are other parties in N.Ireland too.
