Mr. Eoin O'Neill:

We have received a very favourable response from Government and it has been supportive of us, as has the UK Government in terms of outlining a constructive route forward. We receive total support from State agencies and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in our work. We commend them on their work and the support they have provided to us and business in forging a future strategy. As the Chairman correctly pointed out, the big problem at the moment is the unknown. The unknown end game in this is probably the biggest single challenge we face because in an environment when we do not know what the end looks like, it is very hard to plan for it. That is what the biggest concern of business is.
