It is not agreed.

It is important we have proper scrutiny with regard to Brexit preparedness and readiness. There are several issues which need Dáil attention. In particular, in the event of a no-deal Brexit, we need to look at contingency issues with regard to price inflation and how that would affect low and middle-income households. Several issues relating to the UK land bridge are arising in terms of potential delays at Dublin Port, Holyhead, Dover and Calais. There is the potential for non-green laning of Irish trucks with the French not having the technical capability to do that.

We have seen the UK publish its national audit of preparedness and readiness for Brexit. We need to see the Irish audit of readiness and preparation for Brexit published soon. We need a question and answer session on Brexit this week in the Dáil.
