to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, if she will publish the guidance on protocol for members of the Irish Government visiting in an official capacity (a) Northern Ireland and (b) other parts of the UK .

With regard to visits to the rest of the UK, the practice is for the Irish Government to arrange routine visits through the Irish Embassy in London, with the FCO providing support for State and Guest of Government visits.
