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

Deputy Adams can be assured that any trade agreement between the EU and Mercosur will have to benefit Ireland if it is going to pass the Government and this Parliament.

Once again I detect an ambiguity in Sinn Féin's position towards the European Union. At present, Sinn Féin is campaigning against Brexit, it wants to keep Northern Ireland in the European Union and yet along the way it voted against every European referendum and opposed every free trade agreement. Essentially, the European Union is a free trade block. It is at the core of what the European Union does.
