Mr. David Mongey:

I will come in on that point because I am in the SME sector and have a staff of approximately 40. I can see the stress on my team, many of whom are at home, twiddling their thumbs and waiting for the next event. As I mentioned before, these people are passionate about their game and highly skilled. We had The Gathering a number of years ago and the next one is scheduled for 2023. All of the witnesses around this table made a contribution to The Gathering. It is a large industry with great talent. We must protect that talent, mentally, physically and financially.

As Mr. Dunne said, some of my staff have babies, concerns about childcare and mortgages to pay. The banks are causing stress and not giving mortgages. A number of people on my team recently got married and want to build or buy houses or do stuff like that. This is a phenomenally stressful time for them.

I know from within the industry that there is considerable talent and a passion to be the best in the world. I think we are the best in the world because we have the skill, the chat and the craic. We know how to deliver a top-class product.
