A very interesting job and best of luck to all. Could I ask if Brexit could be discussed
Looks like the EU are going to mess this up again and Ireland’s wellbeing will not concern them

I think we should have a real debate about Irexit – if for no other reason than to frighten them that hard Brexit could have a domino effect greater than a soft one

Please

Many thanks
