Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

I assure the Deputy that it is a priority issue. We are awaiting a specific breakdown of figures for countries. We received an analysis from the HSE in its contribution to our management board sub-committee on Brexit across a wide range of issues. We are maintaining a risk register which was developed even before the referendum and we have continued to refine that. What is awaited is a specific set of figures. We are aware, as is the HSE, that the UK and Northern Ireland account for vast majority of destinations used by Irish citizens under the directive. It is not that we have failed to engage with these issues; we have discussed this in-depth and we continue to engage with it. The specific figures and country breakdown are awaited. This is not our first engagement with this issue and, therefore, we will provide them.
