Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire agus a chomhghleacaithe chuig an gcoiste.

I will start with Brexit. The Minister says that he is planning budget 2020 on the basis of a no-deal Brexit. Can he explain whether that means the official statistics to be contained within the budget book will show that Ireland expects to have a deficit in the region of €5 billion next year or will the Minister provide two options?
