asked the Taoiseach if he will state whether any reference was made during his visit to the British Prime Minister in London to any differences which may exist between the two countries; whether special reference was made to the conditions of emigrants to England, the Free Trade Area, the 1948 Trade Agreement, and Partition; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - London Visit of Taoiseach.
My recent visit to London was in response to an invitation to be present at a St. Patrick's Day function at which the golden jubilee of the establishment of the National University of Ireland was being commemorated. My call on the British Prime Minister was a courtesy call and was not arranged for the purpose of intergovernmental discussions. The question of a public statement does not, therefore, properly arise.
