My target date for making a decision is before Easter. I am conscious that there will be great uncertainty over the next couple of weeks as to what will happen with Brexit. We may find ourselves in late March or early April coming to the Oireachtas seeking a very substantial Supplementary Estimate to bail out our beef industry and keep people in employment, particularly in rural areas and the agrifood sector, to support our exporters. I have to bear that in mind. For the Oireachtas to vote more money to the Government, it will want to know what other bills are coming. I would like to know.
