Ms Marie Armstrong:

On quotas, we feel it is always easier if there are two voices advocating the same thing at the same time. There is a possibility that the UK will advocate for existing quotas, whether between Ireland and the UK or Europe and Ireland. That is a rather good idea. It is very clear that the EU will give the UK a rap on the knuckles. There is no question that there is no inside-outside club. There are measures in respect of certain minimum quotas whether for food or energy security. That is a very good idea and a very practical approach. We should consider that and the milk industry has been particularly badly hit by the amount of imports from Northern Ireland. I cannot remember who asked about looking for quotas and what they are but it is a good idea. We can see where we are now and what we need and then look to increase our trade by moving east to countries that are close to us, like our neighbours in la belle France.
