Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

Does the Taoiseach agree that a necessary element in delivering an all-Ireland response would be the sharing of information on travellers? We are all aware that the Northern Executive Minister of Health, Robin Swann, has been looking for this information and this issue to be dealt with since last March. We have heard from the Department of Transport and members of the Government, including the Taoiseach, that there is a GDPR issue. I welcome that the Taoiseach said something rather positive about his interaction with the Northern Executive. Will he tell me what is the update and what is the lie of the land on this so we can cut off things such as the back door through Belfast and provide a proper all-Ireland response?
