You could be sorry about this. My apologies beforehand. I appreciate the previous two answers. I welcome what Mr. Gentiloni has said and I welcome the solidarity that has been shown on the Brexit issue. I particularly welcome his statement that the only show in town is the Irish protocol and it is just about finding the best case scenario with regard to its operability.

We need Europe to stay with that. There are particular discussions that can happen on the island of Ireland. If anybody sees a chink of weakness with respect to it, that could have particular outworkings. We are engaged in a changed conversation on the island of Ireland. Brexit has done that. Many communities are talking about the possibility of Irish unity. There is talk of us having such a conversation here. We are looking for a citizens' assembly in Ireland to tease out what it would look like. In the context of the European Union and the Commission, there would be a need for planning for the possibility of Irish unity. Has that discussion happened to any degree? Are there are any plans to have such a discussion in the future?
