I thank Mr. Breslin for clarifying that as the question has come up a few times. I also compliment the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on its co-operation, especially at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. There were so many Irish people who wanted to come home and I made contact several times myself. The Department staff's professionalism in that contact was very much appreciated.

Mr. Burgess indicated in his opening statement that 1,000 citizens are dispersed across many countries, some in remote locations, with an interest in returning home. The Department is working with them to provide advice and help. I was contacted recently by somebody from Dungarvan who is now in Morocco. Does the help come in the form of consular assistance or is some financial aid still available for when airlines can move again?
