I thank Dr. Kelleher.
On some of the information provided, the Irish Refugee Council did a survey on how people had experienced this pandemic. There are a number of interesting findings. Some 83% of respondents said that they did not have access to information about the pandemic. I appreciate in certain circumstances that there would be language issues or other communication barriers. I note from Ms Buckley's comments the level of effort that she has put in to communicating about the pandemic. If those figures are correct, it seems, according to this information that it has not gone okay. Can Ms Buckley give some information on the particular efforts she has made in communicating the public health advice to people in these environments, please?
