344. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the date on which and precise time she was notified by the UK's Home Secretary that their meeting of 29 April 2024 was cancelled; if she has made efforts to reschedule this meeting; and if any of her officials are part of the Tánaiste's attendance at the British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference.

My meeting with the UK Home Secretary was postponed due to unavoidable diary commitments.
Senior officials from my Department were in attendance at the British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference.
I look forward to the meeting with the Home Secretary being rescheduled soon.
I can assure the Deputy that there is extensive engagement and cooperation at all levels between my Department’s officials and their Home Office counterparts, as well as significant operational cooperation between the Gardaí, UK policing services and the PSNI. This strong practical engagement and cooperation serves the mutual interests of both Ireland and the United Kingdom, and continues to function well.
