To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, If he will have discussions with the Government of the Irish Republic on potential entitlement of victims of violence from Northern Ireland to compensation from that State as a result of collusion between illegal paramilitary groups and the legitimate forces of...
It is clear that the participation of both the UK and Irish governments in legacy processes is vital if we are to achieve better outcomes for victims and survivors.
That is why the Joint Framework agreed between the UK and Irish governments in September 2025 includes significant commitments by the Irish Government, specifically the fullest possible cooperation with the Legacy Commission, the establishment of a dedicated unit within An Garda Síochána as a single point of contact for cross-border cooperation on Troubles related cases, and a financial contribution of €25 million.
In the UK, the Troubles Permanent Disablement Scheme provides payments for permanently injured victims of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Victims and survivors have also been able to obtain financial redress through civil proceedings - something that the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 sought to prevent, and which the Troubles Bill will reinstate.
The entitlement to compensation from the Irish Government for victims and survivors of alleged state collusion by the Irish authorities is a matter for the Irish Government. The UK Government will always support the right of victims of the Troubles to seek redress, including in the event that there is evidence of collusion by the Irish authorities.
That this House condemns the failure of the Irish Government to investigate credible allegations of collusion between members of An Garda Síochána and the Provisional IRA during the Troubles; notes with grave concern the murder of Chief Superintendent Harry Breen and Superintendent Bob Buchanan in 1989, in which the Smithwick Tribunal concluded that, on the balance of probabilities, information was passed from within Dundalk Garda station to the IRA, directly facilitating their deaths; further notes the 1991 murder of Ian Sproule, a 23-year-old civilian, amid allegations that the IRA were in possession of a Garda intelligence file containing his personal details, with the Sproule family still denied truth and accountability more than three decades later; rejects any attempt to introduce an amnesty for those responsible for terrorist murders and other serious crimes during the Troubles; deplores the hypocrisy of the Irish Government in seeking oversight of UK legacy mechanisms whilst refusing to establish equivalent investigative processes in its own jurisdiction; and calls on His Majesty’s Government to resist Irish interference in legacy arrangements unless and until the Irish Government demonstrates full transparency, establishes credible independent inquiries into cases of alleged collusion, and provides justice for victims and their families.

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what discussions he has had with the Irish Government on the funding of Casement Park.
My Department has engaged with a number of stakeholders in relation to funding for Casement Park, including with the Irish Government. I welcome the announcement by the Irish Government that it is willing to contribute €50m to the redevelopment of the stadium.
The Department for Communities is responsible for the procurement process for the redevelopment of Casement Park, including direct engagement with local partners on their funding contribution. I wrote to the Northern Ireland Minister for Communities on 27 February to say that it is vital to understand what the most recent costs associated with the redevelopment of Casement Park are.

What recent discussions he has had with the Irish Government on the establishment of the Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery.
The Government engages regularly with the Irish Government on a range of matters that benefit from partnership between our two countries.
Most recently, I met with the Tánaiste, Micheál Martin, on 12 October. A range of issues were discussed, including the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act. I encouraged the Irish Government to engage with the ICRIR in the coming months to understand its plans for implementation of the Act.

To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with (1) the devolved administrations, and (2) the government of the Republic of Ireland, about legal high psychoactive substances.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with (1) the devolved administrations, and (2) the government of the Republic of Ireland, about legal high psychoactive substances.
The Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 (“the 2016 Act”) made it an offence (with limited exceptions) to supply, possess with intent to supply, produce, import or export psychoactive substances. Substances that were previously referred to informally as “legal highs” have been subject to these provisions since the 2016 Act came into force, provided they satisfy the definition of a psychoactive substance and are not exempt under the 2016 Act.
The Home Office regularly engages with the government of the Republic of Ireland on a wide range of topics and we continue to engage with Devolved Administrations on drugs policy.

A follow up UK Drugs Ministerial took place in September, continuing the conversation on drug misuse with Ministers and eminent experts from across the UK

Earlier this year, my Department set out our proposals to reduce the emissions of harmful particulate matter from the domestic burning of solid fuels, the largest source in the UK.
The Irish Government has enacted similar proposals to ours; namely the phasing out of house coal for use in domestic properties in favour of cleaner manufactured solid fuel, often known as “smokeless coal”. They have not introduced restrictions on wet wood, as we are proposing.
Officials from my Department have met officials from the Irish Government on a number of occasions to learn from their experiences in this area, including in person at a meeting in Dublin, via telephone meetings and at other international meetings at which both UK and Irish officials have been present.
I have spoken briefly to former Minister Naughten in the fringes of a European Council on the policy in Ireland. There have been no formal meetings on this issue.
The Irish Government’s policies to restrict smoky coal have resulted in a significant decrease in particulate matter in Dublin, and other cities throughout Ireland.
