I thank the Vice-President for being with us this morning. I appreciate that he has limited time. It might seem to some now that the EU has moved on from the Irish question given the recent agreement of sorts. It is my belief that the EU could still play a crucial role in protecting Ireland, both North and South, in a very direct way from the damage of Brexit, first, by ensuring that the EU energy and infrastructure programmes look at the needs of the island of Ireland as a whole. Has the Government requested a review of the TEN-T and TEN-E projects in transport and energy so that the new reality of Ireland's geographical position relative to the EU is taken into account? Are we being considered? We do not want to be left behind. We want to be front and centre of decisions that are being made in Europe in relation to our vulnerability to Brexit.
