Those in Derry will get to the bottom of this very difficult situation and will have our support. I commend the Irish Air Corps, which helped put out a forest fire in Slieve Gullion in County Armagh. This cross-Border co-operation sometimes goes unnoticed but we must welcome it.

I welcome Prince Harry and Meghan to Ireland. I have worn my Commonwealth tie today for everyone to see, to commemorate the occasion. What is happening is absolutely incredible. We have had the Taoiseach visiting east Belfast and the Orange Order and being welcomed and asked to come back again. We have had Prince Charles and Camilla coming to Cork and being welcomed. Today we have Harry and Meghan in Dublin. This all comes off the back of the most successful visit of the Queen and Prince Phillip to Dublin in 2011 and the reciprocal State visit of the President to the United Kingdom. The charm offensive is certainly working and most of the Irish public is falling for it. We need to counteract this successful charm offensive. The President should go on another State visit to the United Kingdom.
