I will move on to Brexit. In the event of a cliff-edge Brexit with no transition period and no deal, how prepared will we be in respect of financial services and products being sold into Ireland on the basis of the passporting provisions and branch operations? The question goes the other way as well in respect of companies that have their prudential regulation here and are selling into the UK market. From the point of view of Irish consumers buying insurance products and so on from very big firms, to what extent are they all going to be ready in the event of there being no deal at the end of March?
