Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): European Council Meetings (3 Apr 2019)

Brendan Howlin: Like other Deputies, I, too, welcome the final reach-out beyond the narrow confines of the hard-line Brexiteers in the DUP to a broader consensus in the British Parliament.

I hope to be in a position to meet Jeremy Corbyn on Wednesday with other...
