- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Public Consultation Process (27 Mar 2019)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I suggest that the Taoiseach holds a public consultation on the role of local government.

Richard Boyd Barrett: Obviously we hope that a deal might be done to resolve this matter, but we do not know if it will be done. Did the Taoiseach have any discussions with Theresa May about her view of what Britain intends to do in the event of no deal? The Taoiseach has said he is not making preparations. I welcome that because he should not. I am not so sure about the EU's intentions in that regard if there...
