I formally propose, out of today's meeting, that this proposal go forward to the Departments of Health and Transport on a trial basis for the next few weeks. I watched a Sky News report the other night in which people were filmed coming in and out of a disco in Manchester, which was trialled using a sample of the population. We are talking about sampling, potentially, people going to concerts, matches, etc. Why not look specifically at, and this is probably one of the best ways to test it, a flight that has a very low carry load, maybe ten or 12 passengers, in and out of Ireland to the UK. Let the HSE trial this and monitor its efficacy. This could very well be a pathway forward for Ireland, using the building blocks of the digital green certificate. I formally propose that, out of today's committee meeting, if there is no dissent, this become a recommendation now, not next month.
