Brexit - Recent Developments and Future Negotiations: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. John Callinan:

Yes. In terms of the overall approach, there are specific sectors, of which energy is another obvious example. We want to ensure we continue to have interconnection both on the island and between the United Kingdom and Ireland in terms of electricity and gas supplies. On aviation, we want to ensure clarity concerning the arrangements, whether with the United Kingdom as a third country, between the European Union and the United Kingdom or in respect of other third countries with flights to Europe, including the United Kingdom and onwards to other EU countries. There is a large set of issues in the aviation sector which will have to be addressed. The discussion will have to be broadened to address a number of individual sectors.
