Mr. Paul Sweetman:

As a side point, the Deputy has made a very powerful point. The uncertainty is still challenging for companies in the sense that if you do a basic return-on-investment calculation and put in a variable of tariffs there is certainty around that now but the challenge is whether that will be the case in a month or six months' time. I do not want in any way to diminish it because it is still significant. As I said, it is third in our risks to long-term investment and anything that is ranked third is a major risk. It is something on which we have to keep an eye.

On all-island investments, any investments to Ireland are incredibly powerful and a rising tide that lifts all boats.
