Yes, they have been. The Department of the Taoiseach and the Department of Finance provided briefings to parties and Independent Deputies on the Brexit Bill last week. On Tuesday, the Cabinet agreed two further amendments I proposed to the Bill on the operation of duty free and the VAT refund scheme. That and all the other tax changes have been cleared by the Commission. I will make available to Deputies Michael McGrath and Pearse Doherty an official briefing on those two new amendments in order that they will be in a position to understand them fully before we debate them in the House next week, particularly as the version of the Bill on which they were originally briefed would not have contained them. I will make contact with both of them and other Deputies to ensure they are briefed on them before we debate them in the Dáil next week.
