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

I congratulate Israel Olatunde from Dundalk on being the fastest man in Ireland and for smashing the 60 m indoor record. I will try to be as fast in asking my question.

On the Irish protocol, we have had unhelpful commentary from backbench Tory MPs. One of them is called Boris Johnson or something like that. I seem to remember him from a time gone by. What dialogue is the Government involved in at European level and with the British Government? We all want to see a deal and we all want to see streamlining. However, we cannot have anything that involves even the smell of a hard border. We need to get to a point where the DUP can come on board and put the Executive back in play, because that is absolutely necessary.
