As the Taoiseach is aware, on Sunday Michel Barnier, suggested that the EU and EU states need to start preparing for the collapse of the Brexit talks. Since we have come in to the Chamber, the BBC is reporting that the talks may not be returning and that they are indeed collapsing.

This is not about promised legislation.

Yes it is about legislation. The Government promised, quite some time ago, that there would be detailed sector-by-sector plans ready for such an eventuality. When the Taoiseach assumed office I asked him if the plans were ready and he said they were not. He also had no date for when they would be published. In response to a parliamentary question in May, the Taoiseach confirmed the plans were being progressed but did not know when they would be ready. In light of the potential imminent collapse of the Brexit talks and the risks we know this poses to this country, when will we see the detailed sector-by-sector Brexit-related reports we have been promised for so long?

That is not promised legislation but I am sure the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade would be happy to answer in the form of a parliamentary question.
