Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. Useful information given at those critical meetings led to Northern Ireland citizens receiving support to come home and to stay safe. People with British passports and those with Irish passports were able to avail themselves of that support. How can the First Minister justify staying away, and how can she look those people in the eye?
