The Taoiseach

I propose to take Questions Nos. 106, 109 and 110 together.

As I have already informed the House, I spoke with Prime Minister Cameron by phone last month when we took the opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to the full implementation of the Good Friday and St Andrew’s agreements. I have not had any recent opportunity to discuss the Haass proposals or the marching season with the Prime Minister. However these issues arise extensively in the Tánaiste's ongoing discussions with the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, including most recently in Belfast on the 9th June.
