Select Committee on Social Protection

I apologise for not being able to attend the meeting yesterday. This is all part of the transition in respect of a deal or no deal. The dates are very tight. Committee and Report Stages will take place in the Seanad on 13 and 14 March. The Bill will go back to the Dáil before 29 March. In her speech, the Minister said there might be a problem in the event of no deal. Could we get clarity on that? What is in place in terms of future changes after 29 March? Is there agreement that if a problem between the UK and Ireland regarding social security comes up, there is an arrangement to deal with it?
