Republic of Ireland: General Election Results

Lord Cormack Excerpts

Thursday 12th March 2020 Lords Chamber

[Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay]

No.

[Lord Cormack (Con)]

I welcome my noble friend to the Front Bench and congratulate him on his appointment. Does he accept that, whatever is done, these are delicate matters, that the Good Friday agreement should remain and be honoured by everyone, and that nothing should be done to put it in jeopardy?

[Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay]

I thank my noble friend for his words of welcome. I agree: we all appreciate and want to stick by the progress made since the Belfast/Good Friday agreement and the great benefits that it has delivered for peace and prosperity in Northern Ireland.
