I ask the Minister about any work the Department of Finance has carried out in examining the potential benefits of an all-Ireland economy and if he will elaborate on the matter. He mentioned, in the context of the earlier question on Brexit, that 27 leaders of member states across Europe had discussed this issue in the context of the negotiating guidelines. What work, if any, is the Department of Finance doing in the context of an all-Ireland economy and preparing for Irish unity which I believe is inevitable? Is the Department considering ensuring some scoping work will be done on an all-Ireland economy?
