European Council Meeting: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-03-05
============================================================

Marian Harkin (IND), Sligo-Leitrim

I have two questions for the Minister of State.
Earlier today, I heard Deputy McDonald speak positively about Martina Anderson's contribution on Brexit. She made a positive contribution, as many Irish MEPs have done. When I sat in the European Parliament in Brussels, I was proud of the contribution the Irish Government made on the issue of Brexit. I am happy to put that on the record. What is the view at European level on Boris Johnson's statement that if things are not basically concluded by June, his Government will pull out of the negotiations? I will not repeat Deputy Crowe's question on the Irish protocol.
My second question is on whether Ireland has a bottom line on the CAP budget. Is it all in the mix for now?
