I have time for a short question. I was at the CBI NI-IBEC event in Ballymascanlon the Taoiseach spoke at. He was asked about cross-Border taxation issues and how they have become even more pronounced during and after the Covid pandemic. With remote working, people now find themselves working for a Southern entity while living in and working out of the North or vice versa. The Taoiseach said that, even though there are complexities involved, he believes there is an opportunity to push through a solution. Will he expand further on that? Is there a dialogue ongoing between the Department of Finance and the Treasury? It has long been a thorny issue in the Border region and perhaps beyond given the mobility of the workforce across the island. It is something that would be welcomed by the many people I know who fall into that category.
