I take it from what the Minister has said that he is open to listening to and possibly addressing Mr. Kingston's difficulties as regards independence and the necessity for an investigative unit that is fit for purpose.

This will be dealt with in the review to which he is committed. If I may, I will deviate in the question I will ask, given the set of circumstances in which we find ourselves with regard to tougher travel guidelines and restrictions being put in place, which we all support. It is possible that this all may go further into the future given the difficulty around variant strains and so on. We have all been lobbied by the aviation sector on securing the rehabilitation of a viable aviation sector beyond this. This is a very important issue for the committee. The necessity of connectivity is a huge factor in our economy. What interaction has the Government had with airlines, with airports, with workers and with other stakeholders in respect of any necessary supports, given the situation in which we find ourselves?
