Has Mr. Breslin had ongoing engagement in that regard? Would that include meetings, phone calls and a plan worked up together?
We have overall engagement with the department in Northern Ireland. This is intensive engagement on all elements of Brexit. Mr. O'Connor has led this interaction. I will not say we have daily engagement but we certainly have weekly engagement with counterparts, as we do with Whitehall and the department in London. In all of this engagement everyone is focused on health, which is the important issue, and everybody is seeking to ensure exactly what we are trying to achieve here, which is no disruption.
