Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (1 Jun 2022)

Ivana Bacik: Following the recent Stormont election, as the Taoiseach has said, the approach of both the British Government and the Democratic Unionist Party, DUP, to the protocol has been deeply unhelpful and the people of Northern Ireland will suffer from the lack of a functioning Executive.
