4:35 pm

Any problems that arise because of the lack of planning will somehow be the fault of small businesses and citizens. It will be someone else's problem.
We must ensure the rights enshrined in the Good Friday Agreement are fully protected after Brexit. All we have had so far is high-sounding words but very little in the way of actual legislation and that needs to change.
We need solutions now. We need supports for our SMEs in vulnerable sectors, particularly the agrifood sector. Again, I listened to the speeches delivered tonight and drew very little comfort from them. On basic issues, like transporting goods across the landbridge to Europe, do we have the infrastructure and the trucks required?
