Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
I will say a couple of things about that. First, we export 90% of what we produce. We are a part of the European Union and we have wider international markets. We rely on export markets. Regarding the kind of measure the Deputy describes, Ireland could not unilaterally establish rules that might be viewed as barriers to trade for countries wishing to export.
