Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

We then led into the December Council, secured significant concessions from our EU partners, as per the Deputy's question, covering many issues raised including those pertaining to neutrality, defence and taxation, which were part of the Oireachtas committee's report. We have delivered on all those recommendations. We are working on the areas the Deputy mentioned and they will be part of the package. It is not about implementing something overnight in advance.
