I congratulate the Minister of State and look forward to working with him over the term. I have two questions. I think we can all agree Brexit has been a disaster for the fishing industry in Ireland. The TCA was a disaster. Why did the Government seek to ratify this EU trade agreement?

Were Ireland’s interests communicated to the negotiators of the EU trade agreement? If so, what was agreed?
