Ms Carol Carberry:

I think the numbers were increasing both at home and abroad and there were no problems at all. As for the feiseanna, we live in hope. Both CLRG and An Comhdháil have cancelled our world championships around Easter time. We are rescheduling, being very hopeful and lighting lots of candles that they will materialise again. If they do not, so be it. We did not have any concerns, but it is hard to tell a child it is fine to go to school, that he or she is in no danger, but it is not fine to dance. There are all the whys. One cannot just say "I said so" or "the Government said so". That is not a good idea. Please God, in the very near future we will get back to having dancing and that if President Biden comes next year or the year after, we will have top-class dancers to demonstrate for him.
