- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (8 Nov 2016)
Enda Kenny: There are only 30 seconds. We are in overtime. To answer Deputy Brendan Howlin, I did meet Mr. Mike Nesbitt, leader of the UUP, and he presented me with a document. The basis of his party's argument is the protection and progress of the economy of Northern Ireland and the good relationships it has with the Republic. The Deputy pointed to the various statements coming from elements in...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (8 Nov 2016)

Secretary of State Davis responded yesterday to questions in the House of Commons about the common travel area and what Brexit might mean for our citizens. He has proposed to write in detail about the preservation of these benefits, on which I agreed with the Prime Minister when I met her. It was...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (8 Nov 2016)
Enda Kenny: Many issues which might not have been of great international significance have been dealt with quickly. In this case, it might be necessary to look again at what we need to do in the context of North-South relationships and the island approach to the negotiations in respect of our contact with the United Kingdom and this country's place in the European Union. The meeting in Armagh will be...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (8 Nov 2016)
Enda Kenny: Second, there will be no return to a hard Border. Both Governments agree the benefits of the common travel area should be preserved. We stand by the Good Friday Agreement. There will be no access to the Single Market without freedom of movement of people. The European Council makes the political decisions about all of this. What do we not know? We do not know whether the British...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (8 Nov 2016)
Enda Kenny: I propose to answer Questions Nos. 5 to 9, inclusive, together. I was in Northern Ireland last week to meet representatives of the Newry Chamber of Commerce to hear at first hand of the challenges of Brexit in Border areas. I also outlined the Government's concerns and position in a speech at an event organised by the Newry Junior Chamber. Subsequently, together with the Minister for...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (8 Nov 2016)
Enda Kenny: Deputy Paul Murphy raised a question about Article 50. It is only 18 weeks to the end of March. I would not want anybody to be complacent and wait until the last few days in March expecting that only then will the Prime Minister decide to trigger Article 50. When I made that comment at the civic forum, what I had in mind was that we have no time to waste and that we should be looking at...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (8 Nov 2016)
Enda Kenny: I propose to take Questions Nos. 1 to 4, inclusive, together. The all-island civic dialogue on Brexit which I hosted last week with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade was an important opportunity to hear a wide range of views on the implications of Brexit for this island. The dialogue was the first in a series of sessions to discuss both the challenges and the opportunities arising...
- Order of Business (8 Nov 2016)
Enda Kenny: We made it very clear that the Government stands by the Lansdowne Road agreement. Clearly, the decision of the Labour Court has to be considered by the GRA and the AGSI in respect of their members balloting on its recommendations. Obviously, the Minister, Deputy Paschal Donohoe, met the public service committee of the ICTU and today sees the first meeting of the Public Service Pay...
