I thank the witnesses for attending and for all the work they have been doing in recent months. We all appreciate it.

My point, on Dublin, has arisen in various contexts, including at a meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts that I attended, so I wish to be excused if I am repeating anything. I want to focus on the current position in Dublin. When Dr. Glynn appeared before the committee in August, it was very clear to me and other members that he was seriously worried about the rising numbers at that stage. He was signalling to committee members, in the best language available and in a diplomatic way, that the trend was very much not going in the right direction and that there was a fear we would be going backwards in terms of restrictions. Those restrictions have a major impact on everybody's life, the ability to visit relatives in nursing homes and everything else. People are struggling with this. We are now ten days into the level three restrictions and we have learned over the past seven months that it takes about that length of time, at least, to begin to see the effect of behavioural changes, where they have been made. How does Dr. Glynn feel about it now?
