I would like us to delve into two things and the first is young people during Covid. The other night there was a terrible tragedy in Kilmainham. That is in my constituency so I am very well aware that such tragedy is not a rare event. The young people who need the attention of various services, youth services and the justice services are being completely neglected because the drop-in centres and outreach are not available due to Covid restrictions. We need to consider the impact this crisis is having on young people in communities and urgently put in place resources.

Second, Ryanair has requested to return to the committee to deal with the European regulations on airline travel because we are considering opening up travel and adding, for example, Sweden and Germany to the green list. Such a meeting would be very beneficial to us. There are a number of issues that arise from that discussion that we should consider.
