Regardless of how this falls there is a Department and Minister who have a responsibility for transport in the North and should be central to all of these conversations. Notwithstanding the logistics of the negotiations between the UK and Irish Governments, there should be engagement with that Department.

We are discussing very important legislation. I want to ask about public bus transport. Are there implications for licences and insurance held by private companies? I refer to people, as Mr. Ó Conghaile has said, who occasionally travel from the Six Counties into the Twenty-six Counties. They are covered by section 13.
