We will have Dr. Tony Holohan, the Chief Medical Officer and the chair of the National Public Health Emergency Team, NPHET, before us next Tuesday, along with the Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan. I hope both of the witnesses will be tuning in as we will put questions to the Minister and Dr. Holohan. We ask that they bear with us until the new system for flights is introduced by the Government on 8 November. Ryanair and Aer Lingus are very important to us because of the number of people they employ. This is a national crisis and we hope the airlines, like everyone else, will play their part to ensure we can get flights back in the air in a safe way. I thank our witnesses, including Mr. Wilson, Mr. Moriarty and Mr. Moody, for today's engagement with the committee.
