Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The Europeans are very clear that they want to protect the Single Market which it seems trumps all else. Therefore, t he stakes are very high for us. The British have not come forward with what they view as the backstop. I seek reassurance from the Taoiseach. I do not blame him for the inefficiency and the messing of the British system. It would be unfair to do so, but we have a legitimate expectation that he will keep the pressure on and hold the line. Have these technological wonderland musings been seen off? Have they been disabused of these notions?
