I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I want to come back to the revelation at the weekend that the Government is using people's travel history against them when it comes to social welfare and that the pandemic unemployment payment, PUP, has been cut for some people who travel abroad based on assessments taking place in the airports.

Is it the case that those assessments are taking place not only at Dublin but also at Cork, Shannon and elsewhere?
