Obviously, a significant part of this, and something that could, depending on the sector that people are in, have as much an impact on Irish workers and Irish jobs as the American tariffs, will be the potential for retaliatory action by the European Union. I understand that the process led by the Commission invited member states to submit their observations and lists, for want of a better word, in terms of the key industries and sectors that they would be concerned about and outlining their view of how best to proceed with retaliatory tariffs. I expect that the Minister has submitted that. Will that be published as regards outlining what precisely the ask of the Irish Government of the European Commission was in terms of what sectors we are focused on? I ask the Minister to respond on that at this point.
