I thank our witnesses and, indeed, the people doing the work. We know people are trying their best and working as hard as they can, in many instances. I will raise with Mr. Reid a couple of incidents that have come to my attention and on which I would appreciate a response. One issue relates to my electoral area in Balbriggan and involves a gentleman who contacted me. His granddaughter has been tested twice and twice she has had to travel to the test centre in Swords by bus. She was tested because she was a close contact of a confirmed case and in this scenario, surely the onus should be on the HSE to help her and her family to limit their contacts. She has no option. She has to get the bus with her grandparents. Is consideration being given to a test centre in Balbriggan? I ask because in the health centre, with which Mr. Reid will be familiar, a sign went up a couple of months ago to say Covid testing was taking place. That sign has now gone but there was obviously a plan at some stage. Will Mr. Reid give an insight into how that came about and why it was stopped?
