Ceisteanna – Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (24 Jan 2017)

Brendan Howlin: I am looking for clarity on the settling of the negotiating position of the 27 member states. From what the Taoiseach has said to me, it seems to be that he cannot begin the settlement of the negotiating position until negotiations begin. That makes no sense to me. If the EU is actually negotiating with Great Britain, it has to know what it wants to achieve. It cannot sit down when the...

Brendan Howlin: We have spent some time for the past six or eight months analysing and settling Ireland's position and what is in the interests of Ireland. We have been looking to ascertain what exactly the UK position will be and that has become clearer. It is a much harder position than anybody in the House would have wished for and some of us hoped for. I am interested in the shaping of the position of...
