response from Alan Farrell FG

Dear John,

Thank you for taking the time to email me.

I note the proposed debate but a these steps and action are sometimes far removed from one another. I would rather the house stayed silent and the Minister directly intervened.

I have written to Minister Fitzgerald and Minister Flanagan today to request this.

As a co-chair of the All Ireland Brexit forum on Wednesday, if the debate is scheduled at the same time, regrettably, I will not be in the position to attend.

Yours sincerely,

Alan Farrell TD
Fine Gael
