Once again, it has all been said. The Minister is halfway there in regard to accepting it is a good idea to have a review. Nobody is absolutely clear, including himself, in regard to the outworkings of this. Our belief is still that it could be detrimental to the tourism industry that has been absolutely hammered up to this point. If there is some mechanism whereby this is not dealt with now and is postponed so it can be reviewed and dealt with somewhere else, I believe that is the right thing to do. That would allow us to largely deal with the Brexit omnibus legislation on a consensus basis. It is as simple as that. If the Minister can find some sort of solution that takes this off the agenda, even if it is to be reviewed and dealt with quickly within the next days or couple of weeks, that would be preferable. The Ministers for Foreign Affairs and Finance have the powers and the levers to do this, so I will leave it to them.
