Will the First Minister confirm whether he has met with the new Irish Prime Minister to discuss Brexit and, if so, will he provide the dates and times of any such meetings?

I spoke with the new Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, on 10 July and raised my concerns regarding Brexit and the Irish border. My office is also seeking a meeting. I had previously met the former Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, in March. Border issues have also been raised at the British Irish Council since the referendum. I expect that we will return to that subject again at future bilateral meetings and meetings of the British-Irish Council.
