Sorry to interrupt but I need to know if NPHET or Professor Nolan has done modelling for various stages in the vaccination programme and linked that to easing restrictions. Has NPHET, for example, looked at what is possible if we get 50% of the adult population vaccinated, if we get the medically vulnerable and all those over 55 vaccinated and so on? Is such modelling done and is that something that informs the advice? I know there are others issues related to deaths, hospitalisations and admissions to ICU but has NPHET done the modelling specifically with regard to the vaccines? Has NPHET identified the milestones to be reached that will provide the opportunity to ease restrictions and can it inform the public of same, if that is the case?
