Finance Minister To Travel To Cardiff To Discuss Brexit
NI's Finance Minister is to meet with his Scottish and Welsh counterparts today, 11 July, to discuss the implications of the EU referendum vote.
Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir will travel to Cardiff to meet with Welsh Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Mark Drakeford and Scottish Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Constitution, Derek Mackay.
Speaking ahead of the meeting, Mr Ó Muilleoir said: "The impact of the EU referendum has created uncertainty and challenges for us all across these islands. It is therefore critically important that the three devolved administrations work together closely on financial areas of common interest.
"I will state the case for our situation in the North and I am keen to hear the implications of the referendum result across Scotland and Wales.
"I am committed to working with ministerial colleagues across these islands to explore all the options to safeguard the interests of our people."
