I will interrupt here. I come from one of the black spot areas, as the Minister is probably aware, where there has been a spike and we have many problems. Clare is possibly another such area. The national average has gone down to approximately four per 1,000, but the average is eight per 1,000 in County Wicklow. Will black spot areas have targeted resources that have been saved from other places to try to identify and isolate cases and bring the figures down to the national average?
