Mr. Paul Clancy:

Ms Hanna is right. Anything that stops or is a barrier, whether visible or invisible, to movement from the hinterland, if we call it that, is not good. We want freedom of movement on both sides of the Border for all nationalities because we need everybody to make this place work. We do not want any obstacles like certification. It has come on the radar. We have not done anything as a chamber yet. We have not made an official response but it is in the ether and being discussed. We are watching it closely as a watching brief.

I do not have a lot of information on the Brexit outworkings and the checking and temporary arrangements. The SPS checks have been reduced. I hope that from the perspective of our members we get a resolution as soon as we possibly can to give the stability that we so badly need to get the investment that we spoke of earlier where businesses want to invest in the region. They will not do so until they have that certainty.
