Professor Anthony Staines:
Yes, essentially. The restriction would be at county level because that is easy to communicate. Obviously, some sense has to be applied for people who live close to the borders of counties and those who live close to the Border with Northern Ireland. Many people in the northern counties cross the Border both ways for work and family reasons.
That is one of the things we have done in the past that we might need to go back to.
