I welcomed the draft withdrawal agreement published last night and I commend all who were involved over such a protracted period in looking after Ireland's interest. As others have said, it is but a draft agreement. As we follow the situation that is unfolding in London, we should try to be optimistic. However, we need to prepare for what is looking increasingly likely to be the defeat of the agreement because a number of MPs from the British Labour Party, the Liberal Democrats, the Green Party, Plaid Cymru, the Scottish National Party, the Democratic Unionist Party, DUP, and others have all declared that they will vote against it in the House of Commons. Some time ago, the Taoiseach promised that he would give us, on a confidential basis, a comprehensive briefing on the preparations being made in the event of there being no deal. Obviously, we must prepare for the worst as we hope for the best. Will the Tánaiste provide for this now in order that, hopefully, we will not just be able to hear about the preparations but have an input into them in the event that political events in Britain, over which we have no control, do not allow this very welcome agreement to be accepted?

I thank the Deputy. A lot of contingency planning is under way. Details have either been published or spoken about, but the contingency plan in the public domain is very much a central-case scenario whereby there would be a deal and a transition period-----

It is very general.

It is not that general. We have committed to taking on 1,077 extra inspectors at our ports and airports and 451 of them will be taken on next year. That is pretty specific. We are looking at up to €100 million of investment in our ports and airports for east-west trade

There is nothing in Rosslare.

It includes some for Rosslare. What we are doing is examining how Ireland would respond to this and plan for it in the context of a no-deal Brexit. We are talking to the EU about it and it is planning for-----

I have asked for a briefing for the Opposition.

We will look to brief the Opposition as appropriate, but I would certainly need to brief the Cabinet before briefing the Opposition.
