Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions

============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

He is an author of the Good Friday Agreement. It was in that context he said it, by the way. You have to make sure you use your influence in a way that is effective, not in a way that just makes you look good on telly or in front of protestors. That is not how you conduct grown-up politics or international affairs.
On the humanitarian clause the Deputy mentioned, I will make inquiries about it and seek legal advice on it.
