I propose to take Questions Nos. 1 and 2 together.
I visited counties Cavan and Monaghan on Friday, 12 October, where I had several engagements.
In the morning, I visited the Cavan County Museum in Ballyjamesduff, which is really worth a visit and I would recommend it to anyone. I also visited the new autism unit in Bailieborough community school and Bailieborough courthouse.
In the afternoon, I visited Cootehill where I had the pleasure of turning the sod on the new Holy Family school, which is a special school. I spoke at the cross-border childcare conference in Emyvale, County Monaghan.
While I had no formal meetings with business people on this occasion, I met a wide variety of invited guests and members of the public at the events I attended. As people can imagine, given that Cavan and Monaghan are Border counties, Brexit was to the fore during my visit. The cross-Border childcare conference afforded me the opportunity to engage with those attending on Brexit and how it may impact on their services and businesses.
