I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I ask Mr. O'Brien about the Irish economy contracting. What stage are we at now? For instance, if we are in the same position with regard to trying to control the spread of the Covid-19 virus this time next year, what can the Irish economy handle in that difficult scenario? Many businesses are seriously affected by the pandemic, although some are not affected.

What is the highest risk business if the challenge facing us continues as is?
