I have a question on this year's budget. We are acutely aware of the changing political dynamic with Brexit. The maritime sector could end up being a significant aspect for our exports, for example, maritime administration. Are contingency plans being considered in respect of scaling up some of the ports?

I understand Rosslare Europort did not feature in the national development plan. It strikes me as something that should be kept under review in the context of Brexit. Is there anything in the budget specifically under maritime to provide for any contingency or how we might make changes more quickly than planned, if necessary?
