Official Engagements
Dail Éireann — 2023-06-15
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I agree in general with what the Tánaiste and Deputy Connolly have said. In a previous existence, I had occasion to meet all sides in that debate and dispute, which continues. It would be of considerable importance and influence if, at on-site level, there was a platform to which grievances could be addressed before they boil over into the kind of incursions we are talking about now. That platform could earn the respect of all sides, which is hugely important. I say that on the basis of having met all sides previously, as I know the Tánaiste has.
