Plan B has already been set out, dealing with trade, investment, Northern Ireland, British-Irish issues, social welfare, foreign affairs, justice, tourism, the economy, trade and investment, research, innovation and energy. All these items are specific and they are dealt with in considerable detail.

I further point out that we have already had senior officials from Britain over here in the Department of the Taoiseach and vice versa. In so far as he is still there, Prime Minister Cameron has committed to dealing with us with respect to the common travel area, the peace process and the open Border. I do not want to see a hard Border, customs or checkpoints. I have said that 20 times already. We will continue to work rigorously with our colleagues in the North-South Ministerial Council, with agreement on ten particular issues yesterday. We need to expand that and consider many other issues. I will develop that in correspondence with Deputies who raised the questions.
