Recent disorder in Northern Ireland has led to condemnations from various stakeholders.
What representations have you received from relevant stakeholders on the recent disorder in Northern Ireland?
I have been in close conversation with political and community leaders and the Police Service of Northern Ireland. Their unification in condemning the unrest has been a welcome sign that those engaged in destruction and disorder do not represent Northern Ireland. We will continue to engage stakeholders across the whole community.

Context
The British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference has not met under the current Prime Minister, raising concerns about inter-Government relations.
Why has the British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference never met under this Prime Minister? Can you commit to chairing the next meeting?
The British-Irish Council has met regularly, ongoing conversations continue between ourselves and the Irish Government. Engagement with Foreign Minister Simon Coveney and Prime Minister talking to Taoiseach will ensure continued benefit for people in both Ireland and the UK.
