It is early days and I appreciate that. We are waiting for one side to catch up in some aspects of it.
Returning to the specialist committee, it has been debating and deliberating over the last number of weeks around ways to make the protocol work a bit better for people. It has been fantastic to see the engagement between the Vice President, Maroš Šefovi, the Irish Government, the Department and all the stakeholders in Northern Ireland to really get to the crux of what the problem is. There seem to be very practical issues. From the officials' work in the Department, what have been the key issues businesses and citizens are saying they want us to look at, in terms of day-to-day, practical living and business requirements? What are their asks, essentially?
