The Minister outlined to the committee additional Brexit contingency support of €115 million. Additional supports will be needed in certain sectors in a no-deal scenario. Has the Government, or the Minister, examined the issue of the regions in a no-deal scenario? We hear from all of the experts that some regions in the State will be especially affected. The south east and the north west, including Donegal, have been mentioned. Is the Government, and the Minister's Department, considering additional support for the regions to counterbalance the impact of a no-deal scenario?
