On the day that is in it, let me return to Brexit and the indicative timetable. Does the Taoiseach expect that after March of next year, as the long-term relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union is worked out, there will need to be some bilateral treaties between Ireland and the United Kingdom only - for example, in respect of a common travel area, in respect of which some academics have said the legal basis is perhaps very weak? Will there need to be bilateral relationships given our very close economic and social relationships with the United Kingdom, particularly the part of our own country that is still in the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom?
