Eamon Ryan (Dublin Bay South, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

The meetings we have had with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Coveney, have been very useful, but with what we have heard, it might be useful for the Taoiseach to resurrect a practice of his predecessor, Deputy Enda Kenny. He met party leaders to allow briefings on what is happening in Brexit talks. I agree that we need real clarity as to whether we are certain there is absolute European support that there will be no physical border infrastructure introduced anywhere on this island. It is one of the questions on which we need real clarity. One of the ways we could achieve this is through a meeting of leaders. That has not taken place since the new Taoiseach took office.
