I really appreciate that. I have sent the material on to the Minister’s office but I have no difficulty in sending on this information again. As opposed to sending on my own notes, I made a point of providing the notes provided to me by NBI so that nothing would be lost in translation as sometimes people say I am not always as clear as I should be.

I will move on to high quality international connectivity and beyond that to connectivity on this island, given the issues we have had. We have had conversations before on the impact of the pandemic and of Brexit.

I know the Department would have had a view that a huge number of issues were caused by a lack of preparation in Britain, not only at governmental level but also at company level. I know issues were brought to the Department and the Revenue Commissioners by hauliers and people involved in the movement of freight. Last week at this committee, I asked representatives of Rosslare Europort about those issues. They said an awful lot had been dealt with but the added cost is obviously an issue. Mr. Spratt might comment also on any other wider planning we have regarding Brexit.
