The Minister has said that data on a potential trade war is available. Can he make the worst-case scenario data from the Department, Bord Bia and other relevant parties available? In the event of a trade war, our products would be prevented from going in at all. That is the worst-case scenario. I have not seen any research on that. To my knowledge, nobody has done such research. If it has been done, I would like it to be made available because of the potential catastrophe if it is handled badly. To date, the UK and the EU have handled all aspects of the Brexit issue badly.
