“The Taoiseach has stopped short of closing the door on Donald Trump's so-called Board of Peace - the US president's would-be alternative to the United Nations unveiled in Davos yesterday.”

“Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin said that while there should be no doubt that the EU would retaliate, it was 'a bit premature' to activate the as yet unused instrument.”

“That doesn't put bread on the table,”

“Retaliation was inevitable if tariffs were imposed but it was 'a bit premature' to deploy the new instrument.”

“while there should be no doubt that the EU would retaliate, it was "a bit premature" to activate the as yet unused instrument.”

“very damaging to everybody in the world”
