The Minister mentioned the committee on Brexit and preparing for the other challenges to the economy. I know that the Taoiseach and perhaps one or two other people have been in contact with the President-elect. Has there been any contact in the context of Irish business with those involved in the incoming presidency?

We have just passed the Finance Bill. I saw the Acting Cathaoirleach battling to the end at about 3 a.m. this morning.

I know that other colleagues were here with us and that the House was pretty full, but I did not notice any of our media or journalist colleagues present for these important debates.
