On the economy, trade and jobs, Dublin City Council is currently finalising reports on Brexit. The indications are that Dublin will not be Brexit ready. The view is that we will not be able to cater for the opportunities for Dublin in terms of financial services and so forth because of a lack of investment in housing, infrastructure, transport and so on and that economic growth will cause problems for Dublin in that we will not be able to meet the capacity. I hope Government Ministers are conscious of those reports. There are small opportunities arising out of Brexit. However, Dublin City Council has produced reports which suggest that we need a lot of investment to ensure we can harness those opportunities.
