I am sure the Tánaiste saw "Six One News" this evening.
The Oireachtas passed the Brexit omnibus Act earlier this year, but the Taoiseach stated yesterday that further legislation would be required to allow Northern Ireland's citizens to access EU emergency healthcare after the UK leaves the EU. He also made reference yesterday to other areas that needed attention. Will there be other surprises? Is the Tánaiste satisfied that all of the issues that will arise in the event of a no-deal Brexit have been identified and that adequate responses have been initiated? Is other legislation promised in this area? To reiterate Deputy Lisa Chambers's comments on Ireland's preparations for a no-deal Brexit, they are not what they should be.
