It is three now. That shows how quickly things are moving. We do not know if there will be any more as the day goes on and, while it is a matter for the UK, it has serious consequences for Ireland and the rest of the EU. Does the Tánaiste accept that these resignations are giving very negative indications for the ability of the UK Parliament to vote for the draft withdrawal agreement particularly as the British Labour Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn, said this morning that the draft agreement is "ill defined" and that he would prefer no deal to a bad deal? Have the Tánaiste or Taoiseach met, or are they planning to meet, with Mr. Corbyn to discuss the draft withdrawal agreement before a vote takes place? As the EU Council is meeting on Sunday week, 26 November, does the Tánaiste expect changes to the current draft after that Council meeting? Can he confirm that the Government is increasing its preparedness for a no-deal Brexit as advised by the European Commission?
