Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-16
============================================================

Neale Richmond (FG), Dublin Rathdown

A bit closer to home, the political events in Northern Ireland continue to mystify and trouble many of us on this island. It is about time that the Taoiseach and, more particularly, British Prime Minister, really engaged with this process. I am asking for the British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference to be convened and for a full engagement on the part of the Taoiseach and the Prime Minister, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland in order to ensure that the people of Northern Ireland will not be left behind in terms of representation when it comes to the Northern Ireland Executive.
We need to make sure important legislation is passed and that, whenever we have an Assembly election in Northern Ireland, an Executive will be formed afterwards regardless of the result.
