Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Brexit Issues (12 Apr 2017)

Darragh O'Brien: The Minister is missing the point. The mechanisms in place under the Good Friday Agreement have not been utilised over the past five, six or seven years to their full potential and we need to consider adding to them. The most recent summit of the British-Irish Council was held in Cardiff in November 2016. The next one will take place in the North of Ireland in June 2017. It is too loose....

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Brexit Issues (12 Apr 2017)

Darragh O'Brien: In light of Britain's decision to leave the European Union and the moving of the formal letter, has the Government given consideration to the need for new formal structures for dialogue to be established between Ireland and Britain and indeed, between the Irish and British Governments? Can the Minister outline whether any discussions or preparations are in train at this early stage?

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Brexit Issues (12 Apr 2017)

Darragh O'Brien: I am quite disappointed with the Minister's response. Our shared membership of the Union has given both countries a space to build and consolidate trust and to work in a formal way but with Britain's exit, that is at risk. That is why I and my party fundamentally believe that a new Irish-British agreement dealing with matters other than the peace settlement will be required. I do not...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Brexit Issues (12 Apr 2017)

Darragh O'Brien: I thank the Minister for the response. We would or should all agree that anyone born in Dungannon, Belfast or Newry is as Irish as anyone born in Swords, Malahide or Skerries and that their rights need to be protected. On foot of that, their right to EU citizenship needs to be protected. I welcome the Minister's response but I have a concern over the manner in which the British Government...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Brexit Issues (12 Apr 2017)

Darragh O'Brien: I thank the Minister. We want respect for the Good Friday Agreement to form part of the Brexit agreement. The British Government will have to buy into this, as will the European Union. I seek that after 2020, for argument's sake, people born in Belfast or elsewhere in the North who rightly claim the right to Irish citizenship will be conferred automatically with EU rights and EU...
