Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

There has been a failure to form a government three months after the elections. Will the Minister agree that the talks between US representatives and Iran on constructing a Shi'ite consensus is working in the opposite direction to the stated position of the EU, which is in favour of a unitary state even with federal arrangements? Is it the view of the European Union that a religiously or ethnically divided Iraq is acceptable?
