There is also a further cross-border issue. Does the Minister have an update on the green card issue? It does not just apply to tourists coming into the country but everybody from the UK who is driving here, particularly people coming down from the North and citizens from the South going to the North. It is a great source of concern.

It seems the different insurance companies have different policies. We had evidence already that a person contacted his or her insurance company, having been advised to apply for the green card a month in advance, and he or she was then told to wait for a couple of weeks before applying. The deadline, if Brexit happens, is very soon. If it is an "over the cliff" type of Brexit, and please God it will not be, that will be very concerning. That is especially the case for Border residents.
