I would like to make a final observation. I apologise for coming in for a third time. When I travel on the motorway every day, I notice that many small carpentry, electrical and services businesses are trading in Dublin. When I am coming the other way, and travelling from the South towards the North, it strikes me that a small fraction of small businesses are able to trade into the North, or are getting an opportunity to do so. It always strikes me that there is a large imbalance in this regard. People are able to trade from the North into the South, but small businesses in the South face many impediments when they seek to trade into the North.
