I will be very quick. I have a few formal questions. I thank the Minister for his presentation on rail and bus issues. What will be the practical experience of people on the ground? The Minister seemed to suggest that there can be a bilateral agreement if there is no deal on 29 March. How long will it take to get a bilateral agreement? What will be the experience of passengers travelling on the Enterprise line or on a bus or coach trip between Northern Ireland and the Republic on 30 March? That is the question I would like to see answered. I refer also to the practical implications for people. Efforts between now and 29 March will have to deal with these issues.
