I will do so and I thank the Deputy again for raising a very important matter. I assure him that the Department of the Taoiseach and all of us in the Government are working in an integrated and very careful way to ensure we can access our fair share - a good share - of the Brexit adjustment reserve fund that the Deputy refers to. I am now familiar with these kinds of negotiations and the claims and counter-claims that can arise in them. I further assure him that the effort and diplomacy we have demonstrated over the past number of years in pursuing our issues with Brexit will continue as we approach the negotiations over the Brexit adjustment reserve fund. The nature of that fund and its use will become clearer when we are clearer on the shape of Brexit.
