Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire (Cork South Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

We all know how damaging Britain leaving the EU will be to Ireland, especially because we may now see a hard Border on the island. Tá a fhios agam go raibh an tAire i mBéal Feirste Dé Céadaoin agus gur chas sé leis an Rúnaí Stáit agus le comh-Airí na Céad-Aireachta. Tá a fhios agam freisin go raibh cruinniú den Chomhairle Aireachta Thuaidh-Theas ann inné. I know there was a meeting of the North-South Ministerial Council and that the Minister was in Belfast on Wednesday for meetings with leaders of the parties and members of the Executive. Can he provide this House with a report on these discussions, particularly on the question of respecting and defending the decision of Northern citizens to stay in the EU?
