Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The point of sectoral seminars is that, as we have said on many occasions, we are working together with the European Commission, which has published 70 papers on behalf of all member states of the European Union. The member states are working together in areas of EU competence linked to Brexit. That is how this works.

With regard to the areas where we must put domestic preparation in place, Fianna Fáil and other political parties have been briefed in detail on this through the stakeholders' group and in any other briefing sessions that have been requested.

We have explained what we are doing in respect of ports, airports and other sectors.
