That is particularly pertinent in the context of the failure to control the escalation of the virus, and also in light of the Taoiseach's comments yesterday that we are probably looking at a situation where pubs and restaurants will remain closed until the end of May. It is incumbent on political leaders to take a new approach. I welcome the clarification provided in the letter.

Dr. Glynn talked about the basic tools that can be used, and have been used from the beginning. I wonder why improving ventilation is not included as one of those tools.
