Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister ) Leo Varadkar said his government was doing "All we can to avoid a no Deal scenario but we need to be ready in case it does happen".

"This special law enables us to mitigate against some of the worst effects of no Deal by protecting citizens' rights, security and facilitating extra supports for vulnerable businesses and employers," he added.

Some of the main provisions of the legislation are:
