Billy Timmins (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

I welcome the Minister's statement that he does not support the concept of boycotts. It is important from a Government discipline point of view that he take that issue up with Members of his party, one of whom was listed as a speaker at a rally, the purpose of which was to organise a boycott.

The Minister stated we cannot set preconditions but good faith requires good acts. The construction of settlements during the process is unhelpful.
