St Patrick's Day and Northern Irish Affairs

Volume 764: Debated 27 March 2025

Henry Tufnell:

As my hon. Friend knows, I represent the constituency of Mid and South Pembrokeshire, which is closer to Dublin than it is to London.

Does he agree about the importance of maintaining and enhancing trade links?

He will be aware of the ferry from Pembroke Dock in my constituency to the harbour of Rosslare and the importance of enhancing those trade links to achieve the Government’s mission of economic growth.

Adam Jogee MP:

I congratulate my hon. Friend and his wife on the imminent arrival of their first child in the coming days. We all wish him and Poppy well.

He makes an important point.

Internal trade within our United Kingdom and with our closest neighbour, the Republic of Ireland, would and does benefit all of us.

The stronger that is, the better for my constituents and his.
