Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will do the best I can.

The first question was about the political approach taken. Of course, it is happening at multiple levels. Bilateral contacts between the Irish and UK Government are ongoing. I had a meeting with Theresa May on Monday and will meet her again tomorrow or the day after in Brussels where we will attend the European Council. We are working hard. The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Simon Coveney, is in Northern Ireland to try to get the Northern Ireland Executive up and running. We want it up and running to give Northern Ireland a unique voice and ensure there will be an executive in Northern Ireland that can put forward solutions for it supported by the people of Northern Ireland. We want to put pressure on in London and Brussels to deliver them. There is an absence of nationalist representation at Westminster. I regret that that is the case. I think it is the first time in over 100 years there will be no nationalist representation at Westminster.
