Ruairi Ó Murchú (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The State and all of us internationally are dealing with supply chain issues, inflation, the energy crisis and the cost-of-living crisis. Our dealings with the European Union are more important than ever as are bilateral relations, particularly with the United States, while they are absolutely necessary in respect of our nearest neighbour. Has the Taoiseach spoken with or has he plans to speak with Rishi Sunak? We have the issue of the Irish protocol, we all want the Executive up and running and we know we are looking at a deadline and are not quite sure what is going to be the case on Friday.
