Ministerial Rota for Parliamentary Questions: Motion: Northern Ireland (25 Jan 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I agree with some of what was said. We must be ambitious about the shared island unit and the initiative.

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I do not think there is anyone here who was not shocked by the horrific murder of Ashling Murphy. It knocked us for seven.
