Two questions: considering that the Deputy Taoiseach Varadkar, who helped negotiate much of the current agreements, has mentioned the possibility of the UK having negotiated in "bad faith", how consequential would such a claim be? Are there any means by which such a claim could be substantiated through arbitration, international tribunals, etc?
Secondly, I would like to know whether there are any indications of increased crime risks associated with the current or potential border agreements? For instance, whether we would be likely to see increased smuggling, trafficking or other forms of cross-border crime if the proposed EU compromise on checks and customs were to come into force?
