Ian Blair

Asked if Ian Blair agreed with the Prime Minister over the "grossly disproportionate" wording regarding the home defence law, the PMOS replied that he thought the journalist was oversimplifying both the Prime Minister's and Ian Blair's words. Ian Blair had now seen the guidelines, and believed they were welcome and correct, and was supportive of them.

Taoiseach

Asked about the meeting with Taoiseach, the PMOS informed journalists that the Chief Constable of Northern Ireland and his opposite number in the Garda would give the two Prime Ministers an update into the investigation of the robbery and overall security situation. They would also update on the separate meetings they've had with Sinn Fein and the other parties.

School discipline

Asked what was being done to stop text messaging in classrooms, the PMOS said that unless someone could text him the answer immediately, he could not answer, as he did not have that amount of detail! He suggested people spoke to the DFES for further information. He added that the important message was that we sent a clear message on all elements of discipline, and we strongly supported the teachers in the classrooms.
