On my own behalf, I express our sympathies to the ten people who have lost their lives on Irish roads in the past week - a frightening figure which needs further reflection at a later date. It culminated in the horrific tragedy in Donegal with the deaths of four young men, four friends i nGaeltacht Dhún na nGall. Déanaim comhbhrón leis na clanna agus le gaolta na leaidanna go léir a fuair bás. Is olc an scéal é agus tá sé dochreidte.

The heads of the miscellaneous provisions withdrawal of the UK from the European Union legislation have been published. I believe the Taoiseach indicated that the full Bill will be published on 22 February. Given the comments of the European Commission's spokesperson, Mr. Margaritis Schinas, that in the event of a no-deal Brexit there will be a border and the necessity for border checks, notwithstanding the at some level admirable contortions of the Minister, Deputy Creed on "Morning Ireland"-----

Stoic.

It was a stoical performance, followed by tremendous clarity from the Taoiseach the following day.

Time is up now.

The Minister, Deputy Creed, would have loved to have been as simplistic as the Taoiseach who spoke the following day to an international audience about the Army on the Border. Given all the mixed messages, there might be a need for a calm exploration in the House of what it all means. When one considers the very calm presentation by the Revenue Commissioners to the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform and Taoiseach, they are a long way off where the Taoiseach was-----

Sorry, Deputy-----

-----in terms of what customs checks at the Border mean. Will it have an impact on legislation?

I do not understand the Deputy's question.

The Taoiseach understands it too well; that is why he will not answer it.

I call Deputy McDonald.

So, there is no answer. Okay.

I think the answer is "No", but I do not understand the question.
