What I want to know is that, come 1 January, with what is in place now, if I was to drive into Dublin Port or down to Rosslare Port, what would I see? In that context, I know from speaking to members of the Irish Road Haulage Association that there is no online booking system at Dublin whereas one exists in Cork, and it works well. They might give us their view. Will it be chaos? Will it work? Will supermarkets have goods on the shelves? Will exporters up and down the country be able to get their goods to market in the UK and on to mainland Europe? Will both Mr. Drennan and Mr. McArdle give us an insight into what they believe will happen, based on what is happening at present? I want to drill down into this.
