Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Government is absolutely committed to the full implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, both in word and in spirit. I speak to my counterpart in the British Government on a regular basis - in fact, to a number of my counterparts in the British Government - to that effect. I can assure people in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland that the Good Friday Agreement is a major priority for the Government, particularly in the context of the threats and the strains that come with the Brexit negotiations. We have at all times acted to ensure nothing will happens linked with Brexit that will fundamentally undermine how the Good Friday Agreement operates and what it is meant to deliver by way of a stable peace process into the future. All of us in this House have an obligation to try to work to ensure we can re-establish core elements of the Good Friday Agreement in the coming weeks and months. I look forward to working with the Deputy in that regard.
