I have a brief follow-up question to Deputy Smith's question on travel. Last week the deputy chief scientist of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control spoke on RTÉ Radio One. Having analysed the data he was getting from various member states he said that movement between the countries does not seem to play a major role in transmission. He stressed the need for local measures around testing and tracing. Do the witnesses disagree with his assessment?
