I thank Mr. Kelly. I appreciate the thoroughness of his presentation. It covered a number of key areas and was complementary to the session we had earlier. Before calling my colleagues, I have two questions on something he did not touch on. Looking at the impact of Brexit, not the potential future impact of no deal or getting the right trading relationship or the transition period, and what has happened since the vote in 2016, how has that impacted the industry in terms of uncertainty, business decision-making and currency fluctuation? Is it possible to quantify what impact the past three and a half years have had on the industry and, indeed, is it something that can be retrieved?

I call Senator Paul Daly.
