That is not a problem and I thank Senator Coghlan for his participation. To return to the issue of Brexit, does the Minister of State think a deal will be struck by the time the European Council meets in June? If it goes on beyond that, will there be enough time? Have the chances increased of no deal being reached? We are all worried about what is happening across the water. It seems they are riding rudderless. Things seem to be out of control for some time. There was a bit of saving grace yesterday but there seems to be a lack of coherency. I know one thing. If it was our Government allowing things to carry on the way that things have been allowed to do so across the water, it would not be tolerated by the Government or by the Opposition. We have our act together better than those across the way. I am interested in the Minister of State's views on that. I thank her again for taking the questions from our members. We appreciate it.
