I thank the Minister of State and her officials. The coming days and weeks are important for our future, the rest of Europe and our neighbours across the water. The Minister of State; the Minister, Deputy Coveney, and all of the officials are working as diligently as they can and have the support of the committee. Everybody hopes we will have something with which we can live, that it will be possible for us to continue to trade to the best of our ability and that future generations will look back on this time as being turbulent politically, with difficult negotiations. I hope everyone will be able to honestly say no one in opposition or government took their eye off the ball or did anything wrong. It is important that both the Minister of State and the Minister know that.
