Deputy O'Callaghan mentioned reciprocity and the importance of the bilateral agreements to underpin the general arrangement between Ireland and the UK if it crashes out. The Minister mentioned that the UK had moved on some of these reciprocal arrangements already.

What challenges will the Department face in the context of matters it has not moved upon and for which the Minister is trying to plan between now and the end of March? What will the Government be ahead of the curve on that is potentially challenging where the UK has not matched its side? Can the Minister provide an update in that regard?
