Brexit Issues
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-06
============================================================

John Brady (SF), Wicklow

The tentative optimism that is there at this point is welcome, as is the fact that conversations are going to start. It is the first time in many months that conversations have taken place. It is a welcome departure from the autocratic approach taken previously. Will the Minister outline some of the parameters regarding his meeting this evening with the British Foreign Secretary, James Cleverly? It would be interesting to see what may be discussed. Issues such as the European Court of Justice are critical. I ask for the Minister's views on whether he is confident that the EU is rock solid in its position with regard to the European court.
Liz Truss is open to conversations but, given her political instability, are there concerns that her position may shift very quickly to appease very strong pro-Brexit voices in her party in order to sustain her own future?
