Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I agree with Deputy Micheál Martin that there is no point in having a viciousness or very trenchant view from leaders at a European level because Britain is leaving the EU. On the other hand, it cannot be that when a country leaves the European Union it is seen to be advantaged by so doing. There is a balance to be struck. If we want to continue without a disruption of trade, the best outcome would be one which is as close as possible to what we have now. We could then deal with our political problems at a European level.
