I remind members that the committee is considering the implications for Ireland of a UK exit from the EU. Members are asked not to comment on the merit of a referendum taking place in another sovereign nation, but just to focus on the issue of the impact on Ireland.

On behalf of the committee, I would like to welcome Sir Bill Cash to the proceedings today. We look forward to hearing his perspective on prospects for UK-EU relations.
