Ms Noelle O'Connell:

It sets out all the various narratives.

I absolutely appreciate the points Deputy Ó Murchú made regarding the EU leadership. One point I would make is that the EU is not perfect, its leaders are not perfect and they do not get everything right at all times but we should not lose sight of the solidarity this country received during the worst and most challenging times of Brexit. The solidarity and support on the Brexit issue from the Commission, and people like Michel Barnier and President von der Leyen, were unwavering and really important to Ireland at a particularly tricky time.
