I will not put the Minister of State on the spot today, but I raise an issue I would like her to address the next time she attends the committee. The land bridge may prove to be a problem post-Brexit. When Michel Barnier met the Chairman and the committee, he said funding would be available for the development of a high speed, super highway connecting Ireland and mainland Europe through Zeebrugge, Cologne or Roscoff. Is that something the Government has examined in its contingency plan?
