Dr. Katy Hayward:

I will clarify my point about cross-Border workers. We welcome the interest and very active work being done by the Irish Government and Civil Service on the potential impact of Brexit. The concerns about cross-Border workers go beyond the issues of the common travel area and movement of people, and also beyond the question of protection for EU citizens. The EU has done much to specifically protect people, regardless of their citizenship status, who work on one side of the Border and live on the other. For example, it protects the provision or access to medical services for them and their family on either side of the Border. That is the point I am trying to make. It particularly affects people living in the Border region on both sides.
