As an indication to the wider sector, and I fully agree we have to be guided by the public health advice at all times, I turn to the requirement to self-isolate for two weeks on entry to the State regardless of which jurisdiction one is coming from or whether the virus there has a lower R-nought rate than we have at that point. Does Mr. Breslin expect that to be the position until the end of the summer or the end of the year, or does he foresee corridors being opened between European countries, jurisdictions and regions that will allow for travel into the country without a two-week isolation period to follow?
