Mr. Adrian Cummins:

I will respond very quickly to the Deputy's questions. On the voucher scheme, we propose going forward with it. We said that already in response to a question from Deputy O'Sullivan.

On the issue of the outdoor dining grant, to put it into context for members, it costs an owner around €15,000 to cover and weatherproof 15-seat seating area outside a premises. That amounts to €1,000 per seat in direct capital expenditure grant aid.

On the question of whether Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland can do more, there is currently no publican or restaurateur on the boards of Fáilte Ireland or Tourism Ireland, or on the tourism recovery oversight group. We must ensure that we are represented considering the number of employees that we have within the sector. I believe that covers all the questions asked by the Deputy.
