UK Prime Minister Theresa May has made six commitments to Northern Ireland as agreement was reached with the European Union (EU) on terms of the country leaving the bloc.

Withdrawal talks have focused on three areas: citizens' rights, how much Britain will pay for commitments made while it was a member and Northern Ireland's border with the Republic, which will be the only EU/UK mainland frontier post-Brexit.
