We do not know but we are monitoring it because we know how critical public transport is for our communities. That is why it was part of the budget and contingency funds were put in. There is a national economic plan coming up. Our biggest challenge, and it is not just Ireland's challenge because it is global, is the uncertainty of this and that is why we had an €18 billion budget allocated. We are looking at protecting as many sectors as possible, ensuring we are protecting public health at the same time. We are asking people not to leave their homes under level 5 unless it is for essential purposes or exercise within 5 km. We all know the protocols around that. We want to emerge from this six-week level 5 situation in a better place where the virus is contained and, at the same time, get our public transport and other sectors up and running as quickly and safely as possible.
