Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what was discussed during his most recent exchange with his counterpart in Ireland.
This question was answered on 16th January 2017
My ministerial colleagues and I have regular contact with our Irish counterparts to discuss a wide range of issues, including the UK's exit from the EU, Northern Ireland and defence. I met the Irish Europe Minister Dara Murphy on 8 December 2016; the Foreign Secretary has met his counterpart regularly at the Foreign Affairs Council; and the Prime Minister is due to visit Dublin at the end of January.
