I thank the Minister very much for engaging with me and others in County Kildare during the lockdown period. I appreciate that. I will ask a quick question as it is coming to the end of the session. I want to manage expectations. County Kildare is obviously still in lockdown. I discussed earlier with the acting Chief Medical Officer the possibility of the data sets being released in order that we can have granular data. I am told there will be an update later this week.

If the data is looking good, what are the prospects for the lifting of the lockdown a little earlier than 6 September?
