A final supplementary from Deputy De Rossa.

Will the Taoiseach say if Mr. King briefed him in relation to his own discussions with the parties in Northern Ireland? Is it proposed to have any further meetings with Mr. King outside the Anglo-Irish Conference?

Comment on this

I can only repeat that it is not in order for me to say what was discussed at the meeting. I am always prepared to meet anybody — well, nearly anybody — in the political area when such a meeting appears advantageous or helpful.
