I will certainly ask the task force to look at that. I do not know whether we could produce the delivery figures daily. The Deputy and others asked for the figures for daily doses administered, which we are providing in the data hub and on the app. I believe all members of the committee and all Members of the Oireachtas are getting a daily briefing. I can certainly take up the Deputy's request. On the core of her question on whether there is a big gap, as of now, we have received 520,000 vaccines and by the end of the week, the forecast is that we will have administered approximately 500,000. We can take from those figures that the amount being kept is very small indeed. We are expecting an additional amount of vaccines from AstraZeneca this week. It has not arrived yet.
