Ms Elaine O'Connor:

I will respond to the first question. We can confirm in respect of support payments that we hope at the very least that they continue to next summer. We are looking at an entire season lost this year. We will only be getting back on our feet and working towards a new season next year.

We believe a task force should be established immediately. We have questions within industry that are delaying that progress. Our local authorities, for example, are among the largest promoters of local community events throughout the country. They face the same challenges as our entire industry. We have questions and nowhere to go for answers. It is imperative that it is put in place straight away.

Deputy Ó Cuív asked when we would expect to have information. We hope we could begin to start delivering reports initially for the July fiscal stimulus package but also to industry as soon as possible. It is only by trialling events and trialling our way through this that are we going to be able to build these events slowly from the ground up to ensure they are safe spaces, to ensure everything has been checked, and to ensure that our customers and attendees are confident in the spaces.
