So it is under consideration. I just want to point out that it is actually happening in other countries. There is an international precedent for that, even if we do not go that far.
In terms of antibody tests and serological tests, the science is advancing all the time, is there any understanding yet as to whether there is any point to being tested. I see that people can go to a number of private serological testing clinics in Dublin. Do we have any idea how long immunity lasts, if at all, if a person has antibodies? Is there any plan to do scientific research to see the extent of antibodies in the Irish population?
