I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. It is accepted by everyone in this House, or at least I hope it is, that the Taoiseach's personal and political commitment to relations North and South, east and west is absolutely exemplary. As a Government backbencher I take pride when I hear him speaking on these issues and genuinely engaging. However, to be quite frank I do not believe that level of commitment is shared by his counterpart in London. It is extremely worrying that we are repeatedly seeing the livelihoods of people across this island being used as a political plaything by a Government in London that dials in and dials out. How is the Taoiseach ensuring that this British Prime Minister actually meets the responsibilities he holds in office for his entire country?
