Regarding redundancy, because the UK will no longer be in the EU different rules will apply to companies based in the UK but employing people here. We want to ensure, therefore, that staff working and paying their PRSI contributions here will get their full entitlements under our legislation. That is why we are ensuring that we have this agreement and that commitments will have to be honoured. Staff who work in this country, however, will get benefits from our redundancy payments.
