Mr. O'Neill was very clear and comprehensive. He presented in such a way that I, as someone with no economic or business background, could understand clearly. He summed it up when he said it is a circle that cannot be squared.

I have other questions. The witness mentioned the reality of the anti-UK sentiment in Brussels and across the EU. How confident is he that Ireland will not be caught in the crossfire and it will be protected? Are there opportunities for Ireland to do even better post-Brexit? The witnesses are from the British Irish Chamber of Commerce but we must examine our trade with other countries rather than being so heavily dependent on one market.
