Dr. Ronan Glynn:

To answer the Deputy's third question first, recent letters have not unduly focused on travel because they have focused on the particular issues that have arisen in the country over the past couple of weeks, and travel has been just a small component of that. That said, we have on a number of occasions reiterated our recommendations and I think our position is very clear in respect of travel. To the Deputy's specific question, of the 69 cases that were travel related over the past 14 days, 20 were imported cases, with the remainder having been acquired through contact with imported cases in the country.

To respond to the Deputy's second question, I fully accept that the dashboard needs to be updated more regularly. Significant work is ongoing in that regard and from the end of this week, it will be updated and will continue to be updated much more regularly, including by giving a breakdown by county for the previous 14 days, as opposed to just a total figure overall for the pandemic to date-----
