I have a few further questions. Regarding the surveillance, I know that when the crash point happened recently enough, the HSE reduced the number of questions it asked when contacting people. I am curious to know whether the HSE has gone back to normal in that regard.

How effective do the witnesses find the app? Has the HSE done any quality tracking of it? Is it synchronising as the HSE would like in terms of the physical contacts it is given? Then there is the question of the app automatically activating.

Finally, the witnesses might give us a breakdown of what the testing has cost the taxpayer so far.
