It is clear to all of us in this House that with Britain leaving the European Union we need to forge deeper and new alliances, particularly with the small member states that share our view of the European Union. I warmly welcome the Taoiseach's contacts with the Dutch, the Danes, the Croatians and others and...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (16 May 2017)
Brendan Howlin: I am sure it is a disappointment to the Taoiseach that he is likely, which word I underscore, to leave office with a political vacuum in Northern Ireland on foot of the post-election failure to form an Executive.

- Ceisteanna - Questions: EU Meetings (16 May 2017)
Brendan Howlin: Whatever the attitudes of Ireland to treaty change, and I will be interested to hear the Taoiseach's view on it, I presume he has not offered any proposals that would lead to the requirement for another EU referendum in this jurisdiction.

- Leaders' Questions (17 May 2017)
Brendan Howlin: Yesterday, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform formally invited public sector unions to commence talks on a successor to the Lansdowne Road agreement.

A fair deal that recognises the sacrifices...
