Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Gabh mo leithscéal. I would like to know, and I would be happy to hear, what the British proposition is as to the kind of relationship it wishes to have in future with the Union once Article 50 is triggered. There are court cases with decisions to be made. We can then decide on the options and how that relationship should be structured. We need to focus also on the future of the EU with 27 member states minus Britain and where Europe wishes to be in five, ten or 20 years and the decisions it must make to get there.

I am happy to give the assurance Deputy Martin mentioned in respect of citizens in Northern Ireland.
