I thank the Minister. I take it from that that it is being looked at because it would be an unfair and unintended consequence if we were penalised just because we do not have those deep port facilities.

The second question is on the potential impact of Brexit on low income households in particular. Two years ago the ESRI estimated that the cost of a trade deal Brexit could be approximately €900 per household. We do not know the actual cost as it is playing out at the moment. We do not know how that is being absorbed but is the Government monitoring the impact on low income households?
