Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I propose to take Questions Nos. 2 and 3 together.

I meet regularly with officials in my Department to discuss all areas of policy, including Brexit, which fall under the remit of my Department.

The amalgamated international, EU and Northern Ireland division of my Department was set up to ensure that Brexit is treated as a crucial cross-cutting issue. The work of the division includes supporting the Cabinet Committee on Brexit and the Cabinet Committee on European Affairs.

There is ongoing interaction daily between the Department of the Taoiseach and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The relevant teams in both Departments are in constant contact to ensure that a comprehensive whole-of-Government approach to a wide range of issues, including Brexit, is provided.

In addition to the regular engagement between the Department of the Taoiseach and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, there is ongoing interaction across all Departments on the range of EU issues, including through regular meetings of the senior officials group on the EU and the interdepartmental group on Brexit.
