-----and the differences that exist between our approach and that of Donald Trump. Perhaps the simplest thing is to remind the Taoiseach of his own politics and what he said previously. On 27 June the Taoiseach said:

I have not yet had the phone call with President Trump but I am fairly sure that at some point in my interactions with him, assuming we are both still in office next March, we will be discussing LGBT rights. I will not shirk from raising issues such as climate change, LGBT rights and so on with President Trump.

A week before that, referring to meetings in March, the Taoiseach said, "I will absolutely include in those meetings discussions of the issues he mentioned, whether it be climate change, human rights, LGBT rights and the need to respect Muslim people". Will the Taoiseach clarify if he will discuss those issues with President Trump? Will the Taoiseach discuss the issues of LGBT rights and the issue of the so-called wall?
