May 22nd if her deal is passed and April 11th if it isn't. That's according to RTE's Europe correspondent who is usually spot on about these things.
In that case bring on the euro elections.;)

We'll then end up with 12 months of nothingness. (As regards Brexit anyway). Following the euro elections there will be no time to sort out the UK general election before parliament breaks for the summer. I really cant see them holding an election n the autumn so next Spring it is then. That will give the new government, assuming it gets a sufficient majority, at best 6 months to decide what it is going to do as regards Brexit. If that is revoking article 50 then 6 months is plenty of time. If the new government is still looking to leave the EU then I can see 6 months not being enough time to negotiate a deal and a no deal Brexit may be the end result.

For me, neither end game is what I'd prefer as both, in it's own way, will bring years of hardship and/or disruption.
 
So a vote to leave the EU years ago, years to negotiate a deal, months threading water as a parliament and now the EU 27 are sitting in a room dictating what way it will allow Britain to brexit.

It’s not without its irony.

If it wasn’t for the utter self abuse of themselves and others, you’d nearly be rooting that the UK had the cajonas to no deal.
 
The majority voted out.
The majority then supported the current PM in the latest general election, allowing her and her government to handle the Brexit deal.
The majority [Poor language removed] up sometimes.
1.4 million Remain lost by - look 2 years and no trade deal done treaty by the EU is on offer - Remainers, and Brexiteers don't like it......

I said nothing about winning or losing.

The actions of the majority have led to this situation. This is the result of the last two large democratic votes in the UK.
People just tend to forget that actions have consequences.
 
Back over to the UK.

Extension until 22nd of May - if Teresas deal is approved next week.

If not

The UK has an extension until the 12th of April, at that point Parliment has to indicate its intentions to the EU.

The outcome of that could be:

Deal
Hard Brexit
Longer extension - subject to Eu approval and UK in European elections.
Withdraw Artivle 50 entirely.

Back to the UK.

I didn't mean you personally, by 'you' I meant the UK. Very few are advocating a no deal which why everything will be done on all sides to avoid it happening.

The CTA is a long-standing agreement between our two nations regarding the movement of people and the rights to work in each others countries, etc. There is no reason why the EU would object to its continuance post-Brexit. As the Single Market is an economic entity concerned primarily with the movement of goods, special provision had to be made in the case of NI so that the all-island economy can continue to prosper. The two separate entities are not dependent on each other for either to exist.
But doesn't being in the customs union cover the movement of goods too? I thought that Northern Ireland being in the single market in addition to the customs union was purely to allow freedom of movement across the border. Am I over simplifying things?. Is it more than this?
