asked Her Majesty's Government:

What representation they received from the Government of the Republic of Ireland concerning the provision of office accommodation in the Parliamentary Estate for Sinn Fein Members of Parliament. [HL2188]

The Irish Government have at no point made representations on their own behalf on this matter, although it has featured in discussions between the two governments as an issue known to be of concern to Sinn Fein.
