I thank Ms Heeney. That will be an exciting opportunity for us all. I want to ask it Early Childhood Ireland about its submission, particularly as the issues with which it deals are so concentrated. In the context of people's anxiety about what will happen beyond August, which, of course, I completely understand, I have been speaking with a number of providers in my area that may have to close because of their size and inability to apply the pod scheme, or because it changes their model so substantially. Do we accept that this uncertainty relates to that which obtains regarding the public health advice for the next two to three months?
