Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

I thank Senator Gallagher for those questions. I will pass the question on the timeframe for the legislation to my colleague, Ms Morgan.

On the question of the 2,000 reimbursements so far this year and how trends look vis-à-visrecent years under the current EU scheme, Northern Ireland accounted for the vast majority of destinations, about 92%, under the cross-border directive when the UK was in the EU. Ms Donohoe might be able to give a flavour of the other destinations in Europe, which accounted for less than 10%, and she will also speak to the PDFORRA arrangement. I ask Ms Morgan to address the timeframe for the legislation and the comparison on trends in recent years.
