Pearse Doherty: On cherished licence plate numbers, 177 people paid the extra €1,000 to get a certain number. They have little to be doing. In any case, we will move on to other matters. There has been a lot of talk about Brexit. Deputy McGrath referred to the fiscal space this year. The Minister suggested that, in regard to Brexit, it will not alter anyway. It may alter because of the new...

Pearse Doherty: I appreciate that. With the Minister, we have been dealing with the arrangements to set up the budget oversight committee. The difficulty is that data can sometimes become outdated the following day or sometimes the following week. As the Minister implied, a portion of the summer economic statement was dedicated to the impact of Brexit, and it covered the extreme scenario of a reduction in...

Pearse Doherty: From the point of view of someone who has to travel across the Border on two occasions to get back to my constituency and has a deep conviction regarding the reunification of this country, I would hope that the Minister would talk to the Taoiseach so that along with arguing for the Scottish people's vote to remain within the EU to be respected, he would make the same arguments for people in...

Pearse Doherty: I am not sure they will be commenced by that stage in terms of budget dates but we will leave that for another day. I want to pick up on the issue of the rainy day fund. Is it still the Minister's intention to commit the level of funding that has been laid out in the summer economic statement given the likelihood that the net fiscal space in the coming years will reduce? Can the Minister...

Pearse Doherty: As an Irishman who holds the position of Taoiseach, how could the Taoiseach travel to Europe and represent the view expressed by people in Scotland that they do not want to be dragged out of the European Union and fail, in the same breath or sentence, to represent the views of people on this island who expressed the same wishes and desires through the ballot box in the same referendum?

Pearse Doherty: The Taoiseach rejected a question I did not ask. I asked him a specific question. Does he dispute that at the meeting on Tuesday evening, with Prime Minister David Cameron in the room, he referred to the issue raised with him by the First Minister of Scotland, Ms Nicola Sturgeon, before the referendum result was announced that Scotland would not want to be dragged out of the European Union,...
