Ms Marie Daly:

There is always room for improvement in everything. The information that we have now is sufficient for us to open. For the next two months the information we have is fine. To reiterate what all of my colleagues have said, we need to start talking about September. Now we know what we are doing. We know the money that is going to come in to us so the decision to open now lies with us and I hope most people will open. Talking about August, everybody must be let know before the end of July because if they are not we will repeat the mistakes that we made with the slow information that came down the line for 29 June.

If we do not tell our providers that are opening in September, what they have to do in July and what funding packages are there for them, we will have learned nothing through this.
