Written answers

The Taoiseach

At our meeting in Downing Street on 12 March, Prime Minister Cameron confirmed his intention to invite me to attend the forthcoming G8 Summit which is to take place in Co. Fermanagh on 17-18 June. The detailed arrangements for the event have not yet been settled but we will consider positively any request for assistance with the event, should this be forthcoming.
