'Disorderly Brexit' risk now higher - Irelandpublished at 21:49 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2019
The vote "will add to uncertainty about the nature of the UK withdrawal from the EU", the Irish government says in a statement.
It says that the outcome of the vote "increases the risk of a disorderly Brexit" and that the Irish government will "intensify preparations" for no deal over the next few weeks.
This is a "bad outcome for everyone, not least in Northern Ireland," it says.
The statement adds: "It is not too late to avoid this outcome and we call on the UK to set out how it proposes to resolve this impasse as a matter of urgency."
