No, that is fine. We have had representatives of the Irish Road Haulage Association, IRHA, before this committee a number of times. They speak of securing some sort of recognition at European level that we are an island. That needs to be taken into account. There is a particular status, the term for which has gone from my adult brain at the moment. The IRHA spoke about changing rules and regulations in France and the ridiculous situation whereby drivers sometimes need to travel from Ireland to France to pick up rigs. There needs to be some sort of engagement at governmental level to ensure we can get over these hiccups. We all know the supply chain difficulties we have had. We are never not going to be an island.
