Brexit "No-Deal" Day on RTÉ live from Donegal

Tomorrow, Tuesday, October 1, RTÉ News and Current Affairs will broadcast a day of coverage looking at the possible impact of a no-deal scenario through the daily lives of people North and South of the border.

With a month to go until the deadline for the UK to leave the European Union uncertainty persists. Will there be a Brexit extension? Can a withdrawal deal be agreed? And what could it mean for people in Ireland if a deal isn’t done?

Key programmes will examine how work, travel, business, farming, social and cultural life could be affected if the UK were to leave the EU without a deal.

Across the day online, on radio, on television and on social media, RTÉ News and Current Affairs will bring audiences special reports on all things Brexit.

On air from 7am, Morning Ireland kicks off a day of special broadcasts, with Audrey Carville co-presenting live from the Donegal/Derry border. RTÉ Radio 1 coverage will continue as News at One reports live from Dublin Airport on the potential impact for customs and movement through one of the country's travel hubs.
