I propose to take Questions Nos. 81 and 82 together.
This issue has been discussed on a number of occasions and at various levels with the British and Northern Ireland authorities, including at ministerial level. I understand that efforts to have the remaining elements of the EU-wide ban rescinded are continuing but details on how this should be pursued is a matter for the UK authorities.
