Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 June 2018
109. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he has spoken to Mr. Michel Barnier since he met Mr. David Davis in Brussels on 11 June 2018; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26308/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI most recently met Michel Barnier on 14 May in the margins of the General Affairs Council (Article 50) in Brussels and on 30 April during his visit to the All-Island Civic Dialogue in Dundalk.
I will meet Mr. Barnier again this week when he accompanies Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission, on his visit to Dublin. This will be an important opportunity to take stock of progress in the Brexit negotiations ahead of the European Council (Article 50) meeting next week.
Our Permanent Representation in Brussels is in daily contact with the Article 50 Task Force and keeps me and my officials fully briefed on all developments.
