I will be very brief. I understand that the idea is to support a proposal to open a full border control post in the Ringaskiddy ferry terminal and that 2,000 containers per year could benefit. It could be worth a lot of money to the country. The Minister might tell me if he is aware of that and whether he is supporting that proposal from the Port of Cork to do that. That is one question.

I asked a while ago about the casual and occasional trading licence legislation, which was to update the Casual Trading Act 1995 and Occasional Trading Act 1979. There was a public consultation in 2018. Is there any proposal to bring that forward? Finally, I will mention my old chestnut regarding having an Ireland house in Calgary. Has any consideration been given to that since?
