We will go with the figure of ten minutes, if that is okay.
On Brexit, the Taoiseach is fresh from his return from the European Council. I will start with how the process will be managed on the Irish side. The Government published a contingency framework, work on which will be co-ordinated by the Department of the Taoiseach. Will the Taoiseach tell us about the team involved? Has he put together or is he putting together a team, including people with a legal or financial background or diplomatic experience? How many will be involved and what will the process involve? Will the Taoiseach send a team to Brussels or Downing Street? What are his plans in this regard?
