When InterTradeIreland has an opportunity to go through the command paper in detail, it will note a couple of points that struck me in regard to the all-Ireland economy, one being the reference to the red lane and the limitation to 20% freight passing through Northern Ireland. I do not know how that would work. I would welcome the witnesses' views on it. Another aspect was a reference to fees and charges. It is free for Ireland and other countries to transit ports in the North but it has not been free in the opposite direction. Has that ever been said to InterTradeIreland? I never heard of this before. It never came up for us. Was this on InterTradeIreland’s radar at all?
