There is a real and serious possibility that we could be facing a no-deal crash-out Brexit on 31 October, in just six weeks' time. Brexit is one of the greatest threats and challenges we have faced in a generation. My biggest concern is of the possibility of the hardening of the Border on this island. This is completely unacceptable. Can the Tanáiste provide us with an update on his negotiations with the European Commission on this issue? Can he clarify what checks he is discussing with the Commission, where they will be located, and what their purpose will be?
