I met with the travel agents and had much communication with them. I share the concerns of Deputies here. Travel agents put in hard work over the past few months, dealing with difficult situations of people who were losing out on their package holidays. We put €15 million in place in the budget to support travel agencies in the event of them becoming insolvent. There are talks between the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform about the new Covid restrictions support scheme to see if travel agents can avail of it. I hope that will be the case. To answer the Deputy's question, there are ongoing discussions about it. I know it is critical that the travel agents get that support.
