I accept that and the protections are actually killing the travel agents at the moment, to put it mildly. What I was talking about was putting in tax returns. It is a particular difficulty that I will refer to again. We definitely need to look at setting terms of reference for the aviation task force.

It is very welcome that we are going to operate with the traffic light system. However, we did not hear last week that HIQA is operating pilot schemes around testing facilities in parallel with the PCR test to come up with some sort of solution. We as a committee need to find out some more detail on that and it needs to happen as soon as possible, while accepting that the travel agents may not necessarily be moving in that direction.
