Brexit is an issue that naturally arises during the frequent bilateral contacts which I, my government colleagues and our officials have with our UK counterparts. While stressing that Ireland is a member of the EU27 and that the issues involved can only be substantively considered and addressed through the ongoing EU-UK negotiations, I have welcomed the opportunity that such discussions have provided to build the UK’s understanding of Ireland’s concerns and priorities with regard to the Irish-specific issues as well as the future EU-UK relationship. I have discussed Brexit with both the current Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Karen Bradley, and her predecessor, James Brokenshire. Engagements at Ministerial level in recent months where Brexit has featured on the agenda have included meetings with the UK’s Secretary of State for Exiting the EU, David Davis, with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, and with the UK’s Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson.
