Extensive talks at all levels have been ongoing for several months and considered all possibilities. The implications of Brexit for aviation are extremely serious and being dealt with as such by the Department which has a dedicated Brexit unit. Aviation is its top priority because connectivity may be the most important aspect for this island. The European Commission has been made fully aware of the implications of Brexit for Ireland in the context of aviation. We have contingency plans if there is no deal and to cover every other possible contingency. I am absolutely confident the matter has been and will be fully addressed.
