Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Obviously, the people will make their decision on 3 March. Let them make it and see what the outcome is. My wish is that a working Assembly can be put together with which we will work. In the meantime, legislation is to be introduced in the House of Commons in respect of the exit position. The Prime Minister has said she intends to move Article 50 before the end of March. If discussions or negotiations on the exit start immediately after that, hopefully whoever is elected will be in a position to represent the devolved Assembly at those negotiations.
