I agree with the Chairman that the issue of a united Ireland is primarily for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

It would affect the Departments of Health, Education and Skills, Housing, Planning and Local Government and Agriculture, Food and the Marine. It would have an impact across the entire remit of Government, but it could not be more broad ranging in its impact in the areas of tourism and transport, for example.
