I welcome the revised trade deal agreed between the EU and Mexico over the weekend, which will be a massive boost to the Irish beef and dairy industry. I welcome other trade deals recently agreed with Japan, South Korea and Canada. I ask the Leader to invite the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, or the Minister of State, Deputy Breen, to discuss all the future trade deals that the EU is lining up to allow Ireland to continue to trade with the world, which will be vitally important in the post-Brexit era, whether with Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Vietnam or a host of other countries where we are not trading. It gives us an opportunity to look beyond our nearest neighbour and to those new markets to support the indigenous economy and get us growing. I ask the Leader to arrange that debate as soon as possible.
