66. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Taoiseach if he has spoken to Chancellor Merkel recently regarding EU immigration in particular. [28159/16]
View answerI last met with Chancellor Merkel in Berlin on 12 July. Our discussion focussed on the outcome of the UK referendum and its implications for Ireland, Germany and the European Union more generally.
Over the past year, including at meetings of the European Council and most recently at the informal summit of 27 in Bratislava earlier this month, I have had many constructive exchanges with the Chancellor. The meeting in Bratislava specifically addressed the issue of migration and the Declaration and Roadmap which issued following the meeting set out what was decided.
