Mr. Éanna Ó Conghaile:

This is all about layers of contingency in preparation for 1 January. We have no confirmation of this, and obviously the EU is in negotiations with the UK so they do not want to enter into discussions on the possibility, but there is a possibility that a contingency regulation will be made by the EU. We do not know and we cannot tell. There was one in place for 1 January 2020 and that was for a continuation of the status quo.
