I thank the Deputy. We drifted away from some of the issues. The Minister is asking whether the committee will have a look at a particular area. He might come back to the committee at some stage on a situation where someone who has had Covid is travelling. One of the requirements at the moment, of course, is that you need a PCR test, but I am told that if you have had Covid within a certain period, the PCR test will come back with a positive result. That is one of the difficulties. I have recently been dealing with cases of people who were quarantined because they did not have a PCR test but had been told by Department officials that it was not needed. That might be something at which the Minister could look and come to back to the committee on at some stage.
