Cathal Berry (IND), Kildare South

I thank the Tánaiste for his reply. It is semi-reassuring to know contingency planning has at least commenced. We have a tradition in this House, and perhaps in this country and beyond, of retrospective analysis. We always look back at an event and say we should have done more of this or less of that. Perhaps this is one time we can get ahead of the event and do some proper planning. It would prevent any emergency debates or any poor decision-making in the middle of the night. My advice would be to use the next ten days or fortnight as best as possible to put a proper plan in place. While we certainly hope for the best, we should also be prepared for the worst. I wish the Tánaiste and Government well with their preparations.
