Page 140 of the programme of Government deals with the Government's mandate as co-guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement. I acknowledge the sharing of information, particularly with the committee on the Good Friday Agreement on Brexit issues and the Border, and the engagement mentioned this morning with party leaders on the sensitive issues of solving the Irish Border issue. My question relates to the concerns of many others in the House, particularly Deputies from the Border region.

We need a full appraisal and consultation in order that we can be informed before the next summit about our position in those negotiations. We are representing people in various sectors who are worried and concerned and, although I am aware of the sensitivities involved, we should be given information in advance of the summit so that we can have clarity for our constituents about what is happening.

Finally, I will not take lectures from Sinn Féin on Fianna Fáil's stance on Brexit. We have not sat on our hands or hurled on the ditch. Sinn Féin had an opportunity to participate in government in the North and-----

So had Fianna Fáil.

-----to represent the party in Westminster, but it did not take that opportunity.

Fianna Fáil looking for people to go to Westminster is pathetic.

It is in Sinn Féin's hands.

It does not even know its own history.

We are losing valuable time.

There is a shared concern across the House about this matter. The various structures of the committees of the House and the debates in the Chamber offer such an opportunity. If, however, Deputies wish to bring certain issues to the attention of Ministers privately, the latter are always available to respond to their concerns.
