Question
Further to WQ99538, where in the Belfast Agreement does the Welsh Government consider it says that the north of Ireland can be used as a term to describe Northern Ireland?
Answer
Answered by First Minister (Rhun ap Iorwerth)
I made no such claim in my response to WQ99538. The response referred to the principle of parity of esteem, which underpins the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement, and requires respect for the identities, traditions and aspirations of both Unionist and Nationalist communities in Northern Ireland. The Welsh Government will continue to ensure the terminology it uses accords with that principle.
