I thank Governor Makhlouf and the rest of the staff who are with him for appearing before us. He will be aware that we are due to commence six weeks of level 5 restrictions tomorrow because of the pandemic. It has been suggested we may also have to go through further level 5 restrictions in, for example, February and later, in the middle of next year. What impact does Mr. Makhlouf believe such consistent closing down of the Irish economy will have on our domestic economy if it is the case that we will have repeated restrictions imposed next year?
