Northern Ireland political crisis
Senator Ó Donnghaile accused the Leader and the Government of silence on Northern Ireland and demanded stronger support for citizens in the North. The Leader rejected the charge and said he had long spoken up on these issues.
The Leader should not be feeding into that. They have engaged previously in negotiations on a Sunday. I do not know if the Leader's party and Fianna Fáil have been at the talks-----

He is providing enough cover for Fianna Fáil and now he is going to provide cover for the DUP as well. It is nonsense.

These issues are too important to try and play party politics in this House.

The person playing politics today is the Senator.

Nonsense, and if the Leader had any political backbone he would speak up for citizens in the North.

You have not, and certainly not in here.

The Minister, Deputy Flanagan, has been silent and so has the Taoiseach.

Please, respect the Chair. This is not an argy-bargy between Senator Ó Donnghaile and the Leader.

Tell us how James Brokenshire is. It is a scandal.
