Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin said “considerable gaps” remain between the European Union and the U.K. in their efforts to find a trade deal, as he prepared to meet European Council President Charles Michel.

Martin will meet Michel in Dublin on Thursday, before next week’s meeting of the European Council. U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he wants the outlines of a deal to be clear by Oct. 15, or else he may quit talks.
