My colleague, Deputy Browne, has raised the issue of Rosslare Harbour, which seems to be stuck in a transjurisdictional quagmire between ourselves and the company in England which also has part ownership of it. Is there a long-term plan to make sure it is in the entire control of the Department and the agencies under its control? I ask Mr. Doyle to forgive me regarding the previous question because everything is consumed by Brexit. We all know that. From talking to officials in the Department of Defence, I am aware that one of the consequences of Brexit is the issue I mentioned. The reason it has not been looked at is understandable and the reason it is not on the risk register is that we are all consumed by Brexit. Considering the issue from the perspective of the Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, of which the Chairman is a member, it is a concern that is beyond the hill but it is over the horizon. It will affect every Department. When I asked people in the North, even unionists - senior politicians, if they thought there would never be a referendum, they have said there probably will be one.
