I have a slightly broader question because we have drilled into minutiae and all that. Mr. O'Sullivan mentioned earlier that, overall, he believes in the round that this is extremely positive for the EU, Ireland and Canada. Can he quantify? People often talk about the cost of Brexit per British citizen or the cost per Irish citizen. Is it feasible to quantify the potential gain in the back pocket of the average Irish or European worker of this fully working and implemented trade agreement?
