My question is related to the Brexit omnibus Bill. In the context of the ongoing Brexit negotiations, will the Taoiseach update us on the current state of the negotiations with the European Commission to ensure drivers who travel to the North, or from the North into this state, will not require an international motor insurance card, known as a green card? The Vice President of the Commission confirmed recently confirmed that in the event of a no-deal Brexit, motorists would need to hold a green card to travel across the Border. Tens of thousands of journeys are made across the Border each day, for example, by farmers in travelling to their own lands. It seems that citizens travelling between Ravensdale or Sheelagh in County Louth and Jonesborough or Crossmaglen in County Armagh will need an international motor insurance card to travel each way.

Can the Taoiseach set out the current situation?
