That is very important. It is the holistic solution. Some people will need a short-term solution which, obviously, we should endeavour to provide.

In fairness to Deputy O'Rourke, he referred to some of the supports that are necessary, whether that is for taxi drivers, driving instructors or others. Sinn Féin dealt with the issue of driving instructors not too long ago. Some of these support-type projects do not necessarily relate to the Department but it is a conversation that needs to be followed up. Sinn Féin sent in a submission regarding driving instructors. Many of them are falling between the gaps in the context of supports, as are taxi drivers and certain others. That conversation needs to be had with the Tánaiste and his Department. Obviously, the Department of Transport should add its weight on the matter.

I welcome the fact that the Minister of State and the Department are consistently and constantly reviewing supports for airlines. Will supports being considered by the Government include supports for workers and ensure that workers' rights and employment are maintained where necessary? We wish to keep the whole system going. It is about supports for families and all the workforce such that we maintain society through Covid and have something that is fit for operation both in terms of society overall and these parts of our economy.
