I see it as something that evolves all the time. I was talking this morning to representatives of a firm that intends to purchase a firm in England. I see that as something practical and realistic. I think this will continue. A difficulty was raised about the question of in-work benefits in the context of our traditional links with Britain and the unique relationship we have with that country. The British Government has been acutely aware that where this applies at lower-paid levels, everything will be done to ensure it continues as it is and there will no discrimination of any type against Irish workers going over there to work. Talks are ongoing at official level in London and Belfast as we speak. There will be a North-South ministerial meeting here in Dublin on Monday.
