Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

As the position has deteriorated and will be exacerbated between now and the new year, what action does the Tánaiste propose to take to deal with this problem, having listened to all the complaints and suggestions? She cannot deal with every aspect due to sterling and UK interest rates being set by the Bank of England, but she could take other initiatives. What action does she propose to take to deal with this matter, so that people in Border counties will have an opportunity and an incentive to shop in their local communities and keep spending euro with businesses on this side of the Border?
