Let me deal with that by going back to the questions from the Deputy's colleagues which I have dealt with. As I said in an interview earlier in the week, in that kind of scenario we would have to engage in a further negotiation, to which there would be three parties, namely, Ireland, the European Commission and the United Kingdom, on how the consequences of a disorderly Brexit would be managed on our island. I cannot give the Deputy a clear answer on what would be the outcome of that negotiation because in a disorderly Brexit scenario the consequences and challenges for the UK and Ireland would be great and trade-offs would be created regarding how we deal with the situation.
