Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I accept the Deputy has been constructive in her framing but I have seen very little evidence of calm in this place today or in recent days on this matter. I am always happy to engage but I am also respectful of process. The Dáil reform committee, which has representatives of all our parties, has now concluded its process by way of a democratic vote. I do not intend to undermine that or undermine my party colleagues or others who have worked extraordinarily hard - as have the Deputy's colleagues - regarding these matters. It is at a point where we may not agree but I believe the process has concluded.

On the broader point on trade and tariffs, that is a good idea and I would be very happy to do that. Yesterday, I had the first meeting of the newly established trade forum. Let me try to establish this for either next week or the week after. I would be happy to engage constructively with the Opposition on that.
