I will discuss the issue relating to the offshore islands with the Minister, Deputy McConalogue. I expect to bring a memorandum to Cabinet in the coming weeks on the Brexit adjustment reserve to give an update to the Government as to where things stand. We have again engaged with line Departments on specific proposals they believe meet the criteria and qualify under the Brexit adjustment reserve.

I reassure Deputy Carthy I have ongoing engagement with the Minister in respect of farm families and fishery and coastal communities, which, I am sure we will all acknowledge, have been most impacted by Brexit. They will be significant beneficiaries of the funding that has been provided.
