I will move to the vintners. The constituency I represent in Mayo has one of the largest numbers of unopened pubs. Some 218 pubs there remain shut. The majority of rural pubs certainly face uncertain times, particularly along the western seaboard. The Vintners Federation of Ireland and the Licensed Vintners of Ireland have asked for clarification from the Government on the circumstances that would apply so that pubs can fully reopen. Will the witnesses provide some information that might be required and how that might assist the sector?
