Will the Tánaiste provide an update on his Department's interaction with the British Government with regard to the 30 April implementation of the new Brexit-related customs checks on EU goods using Britain as a land bridge, and will he make a statement on the matter? It is that issue that has been brought up in the past while regarding interactions with the British Government on a whole pile of issues. It was the Tánaiste's former party leader and former Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, who said it at an EU affairs committee meeting. He spoke about the fact that during his time, and we all know we have all gone through Brexit, there was a huge amount of interactions between officials. I think we find that, between here and Britain, that is not the case at this time. The Tánaiste might give me an update.
