On wider issues, Brexit continues to have an impact and in many ways Covid masked some of the issues that have arisen from it. The issues are mainly in the United Kingdom in the operation of small to medium-sized businesses there, for example. Their capacity to supply the European market and Ireland has been affected. Many of our SMEs are finding the timelines longer in terms of receiving orders and supplies from customs in the UK. I am conscious of the issues the Deputy has raised.
