That leads me on to my final question. In regard to the multi-annual financial framework, MFF, which is currently being discussed, Ireland is very concerned about the potential for cohesion funding and funding for the Common Agricultural Policy to be reduced. This is even more of a concern in the context of Brexit, because we will need more assistance on those programmes. In discussing the MFF, will the Commission take into consideration the extra demands that Brexit will bring and seek to maintain and sustain funding to those programmes?
