Mr. Donall O'Keeffe:

I confirm that the Licensed Vintners Association has worked hand in glove on this issue since the pandemic broke. We have the same goals. We believe in the overarching priority for all pubs to be treated equally and we will continue to believe that. On the point about the Dublin situation being slightly different, that was never driven by the association, it was driven by the public health treatment of the Dublin market and NPHET making different recommendations for Dublin as opposed to the rest of the country. We are at one on this issue. We see the industry the same way.
