- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Departmental Operations (30 Jan 2019)
Micheál Martin: At some point in the future relations will be rebuilt between this island and London. So far, few details have been available on any discussions there may have been on this point. It has been said in the past month that the Taoiseach wants to have some form of annual joint cabinet meeting along the lines of the Franco-German meeting. Other than this, we have heard absolutely nothing and we...

- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (30 Jan 2019)
Micheál Martin: Could the Taoiseach answer my question? Is he saying that unless the British Parliament changes position, there will be a no-deal Brexit in March? Is that where we are?

- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (30 Jan 2019)
Micheál Martin: It is interesting that the Cabinet sub-committee is basically redundant in terms of Brexit, but that is for another day. As the Taoiseach said earlier, as things stand, there is deadlock over Brexit. The British House of Commons has voted in favour of Brexit, against the draft withdrawal agreement, in favour of having a deal and against the proposed backstop. Obviously, as the Taoiseach...

Micheál Martin: 1. To ask the Taoiseach if he has spoken with the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, DUP, about Brexit since December 2018; and if issues were discussed. [1714/19]
- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (30 Jan 2019)
Micheál Martin: We can all agree that the great position we are in today regarding Brexit would be much better if the Northern Assembly and the Executive were active. Instead of the DUP promoting its hardline pro-Brexit approach, the majority in Northern Ireland would be in a position to pass resolutions and other measures supporting the current withdrawal agreement. History will not look kindly on the...
- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (30 Jan 2019)
Micheál Martin: In the context of the general scheme of the miscellaneous provisions (withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union on 29 March 2019) Bill 2019, I understand that the Taoiseach had a telephone conversation with the British Prime Minister, Theresa May, yesterday in respect of the Brady amendment and the decision of the House of Commons to jettison the withdrawal agreement and to...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Jan 2019)
Micheál Martin: The Taoiseach did not qualify that.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Jan 2019)
Micheál Martin: Thousands of patients are being impacted as we speak because of the nurses strike. In passing, I welcome the care that is continuing to be given to cancer patients and to patients on dialysis, and that an agreement was reached with the nursing organisation. However, 25,000 appointments have been cancelled and there is a lot of anxiety out there among patients, people with chronic illness...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Jan 2019)
Micheál Martin: There was no limit to the budget for the children's hospital. It is wrong to try to pit against nurses the idea that if we do a deal with nursing, or if this issue gets resolved, it will somehow be at the expense of medicines and patients, and so on. The Taoiseach gave a very impressive, detached commentary and a series of observations at the beginning of his response, full of empathy and...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Jan 2019)
Micheál Martin: Brexit was never invoked at his Ard-Fheis last autumn. My point is that the Taoiseach said yesterday that this will be resolved and that all disputes end up being resolved. There are mechanisms available. We had a nursing commission in the past which dramatically transformed nursing relative to the prior position.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Jan 2019)
Micheál Martin: There are proposals around various pay mechanisms or increments that could be deployed to help bring this to a resolution but I get no sense there is any proactivity in that regard. The Taoiseach said yesterday the Government was a party to the industrial bodies and that this would be resolved, but I get no sense of how the Taoiseach intends to set in motion the resolution process for the...
