I thank the witnesses for their presentations. They have been very good. Dr. Soares made a particular comment. I watched the news following the meeting with Theresa May. The comments of Nicola Sturgeon will stick with all of us. She said that after a two-hour meeting she had learned nothing and had nothing new. We are all in a situation whereby we do not know what Brexit is or where it is going.

As part of her contribution, Dr. Lawless referred to opportunities for foreign direct investment in the light of Brexit. She highlighted the need for us to increase and develop our infrastructure throughout the country. Can Dr. Lawless elaborate on what she had in mind specifically on the question of developing infrastructure in the light of Brexit to make us more attractive to foreign direct investment?
