Irish unity statements
Deputy Mac Lochlainn pressed for Government statements and a clear plan on Irish reunification. The Taoiseach traded barbs about Green Papers and said the Deputy should present his own plan.
They are not agreed. I listened with interest to the Tánaiste, Deputy Simon Harris's, confirmation of Fine Gael's plans around Irish reunification. We are waiting to hear what the Taoiseach's plans are. For weeks, we have asked for statements on Irish unity. Later today, Deputy Mary Lou McDonald will introduce a Bill for constitutional change about responsible planning for Irish unity, a citizens' assembly and a Green Paper. We would love to hear the Taoiseach's plans. Maybe he could do that through statements in the Dáil as soon as possible on Irish unity.
