I thank Ms O'Brien and Ms Buckley for their presentations. I have just one question. We should bear in mind that Ireland is a small open economy and, as was outlined in their opening statement, it has vulnerabilities because of that. It was also mentioned that in order to maximise our economic output, in effect, this country must be involved globally in an integrative way. How can this country insulate itself if there is a hard Brexit and a resultant reduction in our integration with the UK?
