Text

I thank the deputy First Minister for her remarks in answer to my question. Is she aware that the Irish Government, having no comprehension of what is going on, have tried, unofficially, to get similar security briefings from the UK Government? If that is the case, would it not be useful, on an all-island basis, for both the First Minister and the deputy First Minister to attend those briefings?
