Round three. That is no problem at all. We are a people business. The Government has put in place significant retraining supports, and we are availing of those as best we can to prepare for an uncertainty around reopening. It is critical that the wage subsidy scheme remains in place into reopening because there will be a lot of new recruitment and so forth going on. I am very mindful of that.

To respond to Deputy Mythen's questions about the CRSS, and to give him a sense of this in the context of hotels, the average hotel in Ireland has 75 bedrooms. The €5,000 maximum payment is capped at 58 bedrooms so it does not cover even the average hotel.

The other comment I will make relates to sustainable reopening. Progress markers are key.

There are 19 items for consideration such as being open to all guests rather than residents only. Inter-county travel is a critical part of sustainable reopening. Outdoor limits are to be reviewed. We have 40 acres of grounds in Adare. One can imagine a pod of 15 people outdoors. There is an opportunity for many safe versions of that which link capacity to size. How will the EU digital green certificate work? What will be the impact on vaccinated travelling in terms of people coming from areas of lower incidence? It is important there is a level of engagement-----
