I have a couple of questions. One relates to people who are on the southern side of the Border but living in the North and their social welfare payments. How will that work post Brexit?

Head 15 provides for the Minister to provide for transfer of data to the UK by regulation for the purposes of carrying out the functions of the Act. The data would be exchanged by relevant officers and so on. What type of data would be transferred from the South to Britain and the North?
