Ruairí Ó Murchú (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I welcome what the Taoiseach said in the sense of supporting a public inquiry into the murder of Sean Brown. We have all heard about the huge level of collusion, the number of agents who had information and who had been involved in this and the questions in relation to surveillance. The question I have for the Taoiseach is on whether this Government policy. On that basis, how does the Taoiseach intend to engage with Hilary Benn and the wider British Government because we have to deliver for the family of Sean Brown who have been failed over the past 28 years?

I would also put it to the Taoiseach, as I have stated previously as regards Irish unity, that we have to deal with the constitutional issue and he has to come up with some means or mode where we can have the conversation on what constitutional change would look like. Alongside and long before that, we have many cross-Border issues, particularly in a constituency such as mine, that relate to taxation, benefits, insurance, etc.
