I spoke to the Taoiseach previously about the tech sector. Obviously, there have been a number of difficulties owing to job losses. Is the Taoiseach still assured that the sector is absolutely strong, given the State's significant reliance on it?

Could I raise an issue I brought up previously, namely the difficulty whereby remote workers are not allowed to work for employees across the Border? This has meant that 120 or possibly more PayPal workers who had been working in the South had to be transferred to what is called PayPal UK because of the closure of the PayPal premises. Has there been any interaction between the Revenue Commissioners and HM Revenue and Customs and even beyond that, at governmental level, to do a deal to get over this issue, which is a big one in Border areas?
