Farmers, fishermen, business people and so on want to see us negotiating solutions to the concerns they may have on Brexit. We have actually published a series of reports on Brexit. Some of them are linked to specific areas and others are more general. More reports will be published. I think one will come out towards the end of next month. It will be an independent report.
The level of consultation on Brexit we have with stakeholders who are interested in this area and representative bodies is very extensive. I chair a stakeholders' group that meets regularly and all the key sectors the Deputy mentioned are represented there. This is an ongoing conversation. It is not a case of us publishing a paper and that is it for that sector. It is an ongoing consultation that adapts and changes as these negotiations develop. That is how we should continue.
