I thank the witnesses for their contributions. I will be bringing Mr. Kelly back in to answer some questions. In the light of his statement to the committee and his comments here, I am interested to note a headline in The Irish Times today, "Open Ireland as soon as possible", above an article outlining what Mr. Kelly intended to tell this committee today. The article indicates that Mr. Kelly would tell us, "We simply must find a way to facilitate the planning for and the reopening of access for overseas tourism as soon and as fast as public health considerations can allow." Will Mr. Kelly elaborate on that statement and why he felt the need to make it, in the context of that headline and some of the commentary around it today?
