John McGuinness (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fianna Fail)

The manner in which the transaction can be carried out within European member states is complex. We rely on other EU states meeting the obligations they have and this is set in place. We work in the context of these countries honouring their obligations, being vigilant and having in place appropriate legislation and regulation. I am satisfied these obligations will be honoured. I am also satisfied we can deal with issues raised with regard to definitions, passports, striking the deal and delivering the goods.
