I wish to ask about the reciprocal arrangements for social insurance schemes between England, Ireland and the North and the impact a no-deal Brexit will have on them. We are constantly informed by the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection that it is carrying out a deep analysis of all possible scenarios on a scheme-by-scheme basis. The Minister, Deputy Regina Doherty, has committed to sharing the analysis at the appropriate time. For the 120,000 people living in Ireland who are in receipt of English pensions, the appropriate time is long past. When will the analysis be shared and could we have a timeframe for it?
