Mr. Jim Clarken:

Great. I will let my colleagues answer most of the questions. However, I shall clarify the correction and thank the Chairman for that. I should have said "some politicians". Obviously it is not everyone and we would not dream of suggesting that.

There is a lot of expertise around this table and I will allow individual members address some of the issues. Ms Ryan wishes to speak specifically to the EU deal and Ms Finan will speak to the summit and those issues. Ms Ní Chéilleachair will also make a contribution.
