In fairness to some of the publicans, it is not always within their control how every person moves or behaves at a given time. Part of the effort is to try to keep people seated and stop them moving around, as they would have been used to doing behaviourally beforehand.

I wish to follow up on Deputy McAuliffe's questions. What is Professor Staines suggesting? Is the idea that if I live in Dublin, then I stay in Dublin unless I have an essential work or a care reason to go elsewhere? The idea is that I do not choose to go on holidays in Louth, Galway or anywhere. I make a choice to stay within my county or I am asked to stay within my county. Is that it? Are we essentially going back a stage to where we had been earlier, where people stayed within their area for reasons of managing localised restrictions? Is that it?
