At the moment, we have very low numbers of people arriving through the airports. I know this because Dublin Airport is in my constituency. Those numbers are likely to increase soon but even at the current low level of incoming people, we are not getting things right. I heard Cáit O'Riordan on the radio the weekend before last talking about how when she came home from America and self-isolated and quarantined, nobody phoned her and nobody checked where she was. If we cannot manage to do that for the tiny numbers that are currently coming in, what are our prospects of being able to manage it if we go back even to 50% of normal passenger numbers arriving here in the next couple of weeks?
