Amharc ar fhreagraI wrote to Angela Merkel on 26 September to congratulate her on her re-election and her fourth term as German Chancellor. I also had the opportunity to speak with the Chancellor in the margins of the Digital Summit in Tallinn last week, when I offered my congratulations in person. I thanked her for her support to date in relation to Ireland's particular concerns arising from Brexit, and said that I looked forward to continuing to work closely with her in addressing the issues that shape the future of our shared Union.
