Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-04
============================================================

Neale Richmond (FG), Dublin Rathdown

I am grateful, as ever, for the Taoiseach's fulsome response. I am also grateful for, and strongly welcome, the surprising comments from the minister of state at the Northern Ireland Office, Mr. Steve Baker, at the weekend. They were long overdue, but welcome, and they form a basis for an opportunity to seal an agreed solution to the implementation of the Northern Ireland protocol while also allowing us to return to a closer relationship between Ireland and the UK. What are the planned official meetings between the Irish and British Governments in the coming weeks and months?
