It probably does not come as any shock to an awful lot of people that there is an issue that the British Government is not willing, at this point in time, to sort out. We have to play our part in looking for a solution. This is an issue across every border. The OECD is looking at putting a deal together but I imagine we could be waiting a hell of a long time before that happens. At a governmental level, there has to be an intervention and an interaction with the British Government. We want to see the likes of the solution the Minister is talking about around teleconferencing and whatever else. A wide solution is needed because we are talking about remote working, which is here to stay. Some people will only work remotely so we have to facilitate that. It is a very small island so we should be able to facilitate it. We have better benefits here at this point but, once again, I think we can put all that responsibility on a British Government in Whitehall that does not particularly care about the people of Ireland, unfortunately.
