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

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I fully agree with Deputy Richmond. There is full engagement with the United Kingdom Government in respect of all aspects of the current situation in Northern Ireland, including legacy, the protocol and implementation of the trade agreement.
On Deputy Kelly's question, I am not aware of any agreement but I will come back to him on the specifics of the issue he raised with regard to RAF armed operations in the State.
To come back to Deputy Barry, the Partnership for Peace is well known. The country has entered into that in previous times. There are new threats to us. Cybersecurity is a major threat where we have to rely on other states to help us, particularly in the European Union. As I said yesterday, the United Kingdom and Poland came to our assistance on the occasion of that cyberattack.
