Charles Flanagan (Laois, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

-----the British-Irish Council at official level, the joint Ireland-UK secretaries, the group of secretaries general, the EU senior officials group, interdepartmental group and the stakeholders group. Only today the Oireachtas agreed the setting up of the European affairs committee, which will have a very important role and I trust that Deputy Howlin’s party will be represented on the European affairs committee. I have already addressed the Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade on this issue. I undertake to do so again at an opportunity that is convenient to the committee. I mentioned the Good Friday Agreement earlier and I assure the House that I will continue to engage with party spokespersons and have already been in contact with the spokesperson for the Deputy’s party, who is not a Member of this House.
