Cuirim fáilte roimh an Uasal Cody agus a chomhghleacaithe chuig an choiste. Tagraím don mBreatimeacht ar dtús. As we get nearer to the end of March deadline there is increased anxiety, worry and concern about the potential outcome of a no-deal scenario. I think I can say without fear of contradiction that nobody in this room wishes for that. There does need to be a very honest and open conversation about what will happen, particularly in the Border region. As Mr. Cody knows, I represent the constituency of Donegal. I cross the Border twice to get to Dublin. There is, rightly, much cross-Border interaction in that region for goods, services, shopping and so forth. People want to know whether the Brexiteers are right when they say that a no-deal crash-out scenario will not result in any Border checks and that things will go on as normal, that this is scaremongering from opponents of Brexit, or will things change dramatically in respect of cross-Border trade, shopping and impediments placed on businesses which have worked freely for many decades?
