Programme for Government
Tour of the Department
The Taoiseach and the Minister for Foreign Affairs met a delegation led by Gerry Adams in Government Buildings this evening.
They had a detailed discussion on the latest situation in the North.
There was full agreement on the need for everyone to stick together in the face of recent attacks.
They were heartened by the united response to the attacks and determined to press ahead with the development of the democratic political institutions in Northern Ireland, including through the forthcoming devolution of policing and justice powers to the Northern Ireland Executive.
They welcomed the fact that the relevant legislation had been passed at Westminster this week.
