Brendan Howlin: I want to ask a very direct question of the Taoiseach because he has been very forthright in many of his utterances in recent weeks. He has stated it is not enough simply to say we will not have a hard border and that we have to have a legal basis to implement these words. They are meaningless just as a throwaway remark. I ask the Taoiseach to be clear and frank with the Dáil now. In...

Brendan Howlin: My question is also directed to the Minister for Finance. It is just as well because the Taoiseach has obviously had to leave.

This was not done by way of legislative...
