I am primarily interested in finding out if the Minister raised concerns over the British Government's approach to Brexit and how it will impact and potentially violate the Good Friday Agreement, particularly with the North being forced to leave the EU against the express wishes of its people, and that it will also represent a major setback for the political process in the North. While I am conscious that the Minister mentioned the needs of victims and referred to the three motions relating to the Dublin and Monaghan bombings that were passed in the Parliament, did he talk to the Secretary of State about his comments on the anniversary of Bloody Sunday when he sought to justify the impunity conferred on British state forces during the conflict and stated that investigations into the killings during the Troubles are disproportionately focusing on members of the police and army? Did the Minister outline that those remarks were completely unacceptable? Is he aware that members of those representing the victims of the McGurk's Bar bombing are in Leinster House today? Will he urgently raise this issue again with the British Government, given that it goes back decades?
