The terms of contracts are an operational matter for the HSE. Clearly, if we are hiring several thousand people for a service that we hope will no longer be needed as soon as possible, because we would all love to see a vaccine as quickly as possible, it would not be appropriate that these are full-time, permanent contracts but I will defer to the HSE. I can get the Deputy a note on exactly what is being proposed.
