Lisa Chambers (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

It was very worrying that she was unable to tell me whether the task force knew how it was going to work but what she did say was that we must accept that trade will be very different and that things will not persist or remain as they are. However, she could not say how that was going to look. She was very clear that her job was to maintain the integrity of the Single Market and that what is being put forward by the UK right now is not workable in its current format.

While we support the Government in its work to achieve the best possible outcome for Ireland, as I said to the Tánaiste previously, that support is conditional. Fianna Fáil and I are very concerned regarding domestic preparedness for the possibility of a hard Brexit next March. We must do more to prepare for that. I am out of time and would like to say more but I am sure there will be other opportunities.
