Senators Frank Feighan and Robbie Gallagher raised the issue of Brexit. When the British Government triggers Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty, the House should have a rolling debate about Brexit because it is the most significant event in the history of the State. We will face nothing as serious as this. The British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly completed its most recent plenary earlier. The House was represented by Senators Paul Coghlan, Diarmuid Wilson, Denis Landy, Frank Feighan, Catherine Noone, Victor Boyhan, Gerry Horkan and me. We have a team to represent the House in discussions with members of the British, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and Guernsey parliaments. I am delighted Ms Arlene Foster has not agreed to set up another body to represent-----

We have run out of time. I cannot allow the Senator to ramble on, unfortunately.

I am not rambling on.

We are up against the clock.

The Leas-Chathaoirleach is a member of the assembly and will recognise the fact-----

Is the Senator seconding an amendment?

One of my colleagues has seconded an amendment.

I am up against the clock. If the Senator wishes to second something, I would like him to do it.

I am not finished yet. I understand there is no time limit.

There is. The Senator is a long-standing Member of the House and should co-operate. His time is up.

It is vital that Senators and all elected representatives work together and the BIPA is the body that should discuss and negotiate issues relating to Brexit.

If the discussions at BIPA are anything like the comments the Senator has just made, they will not get far.
