From that Independent.ie link:
A report on the Ireland-Germany parliamentary friendship group's visit to the Bundestag notes disappointment in Britain's decision to leave the EU by both German and Irish politicians.
The report states that it was a shared view that the UK "acted irresponsibly" and was "ill prepared" for the ongoing Brexit negotiations.
"Both sides agreed that there was no 'upside' to Brexit, and while there were significant bilateral issues for many countries, it was essential that the EU27 act in the best interests of the EU as a whole," the report said.
The group met a number of key German politicians and officials during the three-day visit.
Brexit was the main focus of the trip and the Irish delegation emphasised the impact Britain leaving the EU would have on Ireland's economy.
"The delegation continually stressed that it remains essential that our EU partners, especially Germany, are aware of the unique implications of Brexit for Ireland," the report said.
"Flexible and imaginative solutions are required to address the unique circumstances on the island of Ireland, in particular with a view to avoiding a hard border, which are compatible with protecting the integrity of the Single Market and Ireland's place in it," it added.
None of that sounds like Blarney to me, Howabout. None of that sounds like listening to all sides.
It is clear that the Irish have got their act together and are on top of their agenda. It is also clear that Ireland is firmly pro EU and not at all impressed by Brexit.
