I meet the Tánaiste regularly to discuss a wide range of issues, including the security situation.<\/p>

<\/p>

At the recent British Irish Intergovernmental Conference on 8 May, both the UK and Ireland reaffirmed our commitment to further strengthening our security relationship.<\/p>

<\/p>

There is no greater responsibility than the safety and security of the people of Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom as a whole.<\/p>

The Department for the Economy has undertaken to set up an RHI Hardship Unit. They repeated this commitment during their evidence session to the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee on 8th May. Given the complexities and skill-sets required, the Department is currently considering an independent panel rather than just an independent chair. As this is a devolved matter it will be for the Department for the Economy to set the necessary criteria, and ensure that the Hardship Unit is made up of suitably qualified and independent members.

This Government remains steadfast in its commitment to the Belfast Agreement including the principle of consent governing Northern Ireland\u2019s constitutional position. It is on that basis that Northern Ireland is and remains a full and integral part of the United Kingdom.<\/p>

The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland welcomes the resumption of the talks process between the political parties of Northern Ireland, and will continue to work to restore a functioning Executive. A locally elected, democratically accountable devolved government will mean that decisions affecting the people of Northern Ireland can be taken by locally elected ministers as soon as possible. The Secretary of State also recognises the importance of providing clarity on this issue, and is currently considering the recent judgment and the next steps.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Northern Ireland Civil Service is in the midst of the appointment process for an Interim Advocate and expects the post to be filled shortly.<\/p>

The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland welcomes the resumption of the talks process between the political parties of Northern Ireland, and will continue to work to restore a functioning Executive. A locally elected, democratically accountable devolved government will mean that decisions affecting the people of Northern Ireland can be taken by locally elected ministers as soon as possible. The Secretary of State also recognises the importance of providing clarity on this issue, and is currently considering the recent judgment and the next steps.<\/p>
