The next Member indicating is Deputy Ó Murchú. We do not have time for a question, so the Deputy might make a quick comment if wishes, or I can leave his name on the list for the next sitting.

The French system at Calais has not allowed for an exemption for Irish goods exported through the land bridge in Britain. Multiple contingency issues will need to be dealt with but the Tánaiste might comment specifically on that one. I will not get into the ins and outs of the difficulties with regard to the port tunnel and the possibility of using it as a car park for the port.

I am aware of that. I will meet the French minister for European affairs over the weekend and it is one of the issues I will discuss with him.

A number of Deputies have not been reached but all I can do is carry over their names to next week. I apologise.
