Possible Thatcher Meeting

Summary

O’Malley asked whether the Taoiseach would meet Mrs. Thatcher to discuss Anglo-Irish relations, including before the summit; the Taoiseach said no decision had been made and such meetings are not announced in advance.

Does the Taoiseach propose in the course of this European Council to meet Mrs. Thatcher specifically for the purpose of discussing Anglo-Irish relations?

Comment on this

No decision on that has been taken yet.

In view of the serious problems that arose during this week would the Taoiseach consider that a very early meeting between himself and herself would be advisable in advance of the Brussels summit of 11 and 12 February?

Comment on this

As the Deputy knows, such meetings, if they are to take place, are never heard of in advance.
