Amharc ar fhreagraOfficials from my Department are in regular contact with their UK counterparts, in London and Northern Ireland, at sectoral level including on Brexit related matters.
In addition, the Secretary General of the Department, along with members of his Management Board and senior officials, met in London with their UK counterparts from the Department for Transport on 19 January 2017 specifically to discuss the transport implications of Brexit across all modes of transport. I also met with my counterpart Chris Grayling, the Secretary of State for Transport in the UK, on 26 May 2017 again to specifically discuss Brexit matters.
Late last year, I met with then Northern Ireland Minister for Infrastructure Chris Hazzard on 12 December 2016 concerning North South Ministerial Council matters and on Brexit matters.
