THE Taoiseach, Mr Bruton, faces a series of Opposition questions on Northern Ireland when the Dail resumes tomorrow after the Christmas recess.

The Fianna Fail leader, Mr Bertie Ahern, is to ask Mr Bruton if he has any plans with the British Prime Minister, Mr Major, to "give and create a motive force within the talks process to ensure their continued viability".

Fianna Fail and the Progressive Democrats are to ask Mr Bruton if the Government plans any changes in regard to maintaining channels of communications with Sinn Fein.
