Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

We need to fully work the Good Friday Agreement. That is why I regret the decision of the DUP to withdraw the First Minister from the Executive. Regarding Deputy Barry's point, the Executive is there to carry out existing work. I have not had a chance to talk to the First Minister or the Deputy First Minister about the issue that the Deputy raises. It is primarily a matter for the Northern Ireland authorities.
