On 22nd January 2018 I met with representatives of the Church of Ireland, Presbyterian and Methodist Churches.
I was accompanied by the Ministers for Justice and Equality; Business, Enterprise and Innovation; Education and Skills; Health; Transport, Tourism and Sport and the Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. This was the second in a series of meetings that I will be holding with dialogue partners. We discussed important social and economic issues facing Irish society including Brexit, education issues and the 8th Amendment of the Constitution as well as International issues.
Churches and faith communities play an important role in Irish life and I think it is very beneficial that Government should engage with them in a structured way.
