I am conscious of other members wishing to speak. As a committee, we have seen the bond Mr. Ahern referred to, whereby Ireland and Britain worked together in so many ways in the European context and strengthened each other by way of our involvement in Europe. The loss of that engagement, arising out of Brexit, has never really been calculated. For Ireland, it is a loss equal to that of Britain's actual departure. The next speaker is Deputy Troy.
