Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The people have voted. They voted for the parties. Their representatives are in Stormont. There is a requirement to put an Executive together so that we can have leadership from Northern Ireland on the issues that are going to impact on thousands of people arising from Brexit. We know what those issues are because they have been articulated by Northern Ireland businesses, trade unions, farmers, students and people in general from both sides of the community. They want leadership in the Northern Ireland Assembly that they have elected, but it is not materialising.
