My question is about the plans being put in place for a hard Brexit. That is a real possibility now after what has happened in the past week and especially last weekend with the British Cabinet in disarray. Is the Minister developing contingency plans for a situation where the landbridge through Britain becomes unusable for Irish lorries travelling to and from the Continent? Businesses need answers on this issue. It is a crucial issue that is arising with all the stakeholders I have met, as many retailers and exporters rely on this route. Also, why was a portion of my question sent to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for a reply?
