I thank the delegations for giving their time presenting to the committee. They can see this committee is consumed by Brexit and what it means. Given that Britain does not even know what it wants, it fully understands, as Mr. Ian Talbot said, budgets and so forth cannot be Brexit-proofed. However, we have to stay ahead of the posse at all times. It is going to be a dynamically changing situation.
What opportunities do the delegations see arising from Brexit? On Mr. Paddy Malone's point about rates collection, why have they not being collected in Dundalk for so long? There were good years there too, as well as bad.
