With regard to the matter raised by Deputy Breathnach, I would also be happy to see that document published. I thought it had been published as an annexe to the withdrawal agreement but perhaps it has not been so I will double-check. As a UK-EU paper, it is not in our gift to publish it but I see no reason it should not be published. That information should also be available to people in this House and the House of Commons as well, demonstrating the extent to which North-South co-operation and daily life between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are underpinned by European law.

The double Irish has been closed but there is a phase-out period, as Deputy Martin Kenny pointed out. That is in place for a good reason.
