I understand the logic. Nobody has this information and it is important that it is obtained in a data protection appropriate way. I want to understand the application of the circular. Ms Ní Sheaghdha referred to circular 33/2020, which I have read. It is about trying to deliver as much flexibility as possible. The particular problem concerned lone parents and co-parents who are both healthcare workers. Even when that did not apply, it was still difficult in certain circumstances. Could Mr. Bell provide an alternative comment on the difficulties involved or the practical issues that arose? Where was the block in providing the flexibility that had been directed?
