AFP David Davis and Boris Johnson's performance int he talks has been attacked by EU figures

It is based on a compilation of political reports from Irish embassies across Europe earlier this month, and paints an unflattering portrait of the UK’s negotiating team.

Obtained by Irish media group RTE, it claims Brexit was barely mentioned during a meeting between Mr Davis and the French Defence Minister Yves Le Drian and Nathalie Loiseau, the French Minister for European Affairs last month.

The paper states: "Despite having billed this in the media in advance as a meeting to 'unblock' French resistance, Davis hardly mentioned Brexit at all during the meeting, much to French surprise, focusing instead on foreign policy issues."

In another meeting, a minister in the Czech government described Boris Johnson as "unimpressive" but noted that at least he had "avoided any gaffes" during a visit in September.
