RTÉ reports:
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar have reaffirmed their commitment to the trade agreement between the EU and Canada at their meeting in Farmleigh House.
…Mr Varadkar said CETA – EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Economic – had more upsides than downsides and both Ireland and Canada were committed to free trade.
He said it will deliver stronger economic growth and create more well-paid jobs on both sides of the Atlantic and said Canada is looking forward to the agreement coming into force.

Earlier: O Canada
Canada legalized the weed, will we follow them there ?
No. We will probably follow their lead when it comes to strip mining and environmental destruction.
No soccer jersey from Leo. No way. Rugby all the way for Fine Gael. A game played by a small minority of Irish compared to GAA and Soccer. Yet somehow it gets more coverage than it deserves.
I wonder why that is.
Rugby is actually quite big in Canada! they’re just crap internationally but most schools are now playing it
oh wow, we could do transcontinental friendlies with them
You become Taoiseach and then you can decide which sport jersey to present to foreign leaders.
GAA gets no end of coverage!!
Newspapers, tv, radio, sh*te- talking in the pub, Kellogg’s Cul Camps, people in work assuming you give a s**t etc
Give over
Do you reckon Kerry could take Dublin this year?
Some scorers,ha?
Great innit?
I love summer and the championship!
“more upsides than downsides”
Quantity has little to do with it.

CETA , an agreement that includes the ISDS corporate court system, will have grave consequences to out economy, our society and our democracy for generations. It will effect our food standards, wages, and on and on
Irish Media – ” Leo, what socks are you wearing?”, “Trudeau received a Dublin Jersey and a Clare Bodhrán Drum.”
