TAOISEACH LEO VARADKAR has said that there will be “deep engagement” with the UK Government and parties in Northern Ireland as part of efforts to restore the powersharing executive in Stormont.
“One of the reasons why we did that, aside from making sure that we avoid a return to a hard border, was that the agreement could potentially reopen the possibility of the DUP coming back into the Executive.”Varadkar said that there would be further engagement with the five main parties in Northern Ireland and that he would be “intensifying” his contacts with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
When asked if he believed there needed to be reform of the Good Friday Agreement to prevent parties from blocking both the Executive and Assembly, Varadkar said that this should only be examined when the institutions are restored.
