I welcome the Minister of State's comments on this. We have had a lot of engagement and next week the committee will speak about it a little bit more. I welcome the progress the Minister of State has reported to date and the setting up of a technical group to look at this question in real detail. Perhaps it should have happened a number of months ago, but nonetheless we are where we are. Perhaps the Minister of State will indicate when the work on testing will be concluded? The Dublin Airport Authority, DAA, came before the committee last week and told us it could roll out 15,000 tests a day. The CEO of Shannon Group, Mary Considine, indicated to me that they can facilitate private contractors who can deliver these testing facilities at the airport. It brings Ireland in line.

I welcome that Ireland has signed up to the EU traffic light travel system. In practical terms, how many countries are on the green list, the amber list and the red list currently?
