In summary, any pilot programme, with the Department of Transport as the principal Department, will involve NPHET, the Department of Health and the HSE. We thank Professor Ferguson for coming in at short notice. This has been a most informative session and he has given of his valuable time. We will write to the Department of Transport and the Minister. We will also write to the various other bodies that we named, including the Department of Health, the Minister for Health, NPHET, the HSE and the Department of the Taoiseach, which is co-ordinating all matters regarding Covid. We want to see a pilot programme established with immediate effect which would look at specific routesvis-à-visthe UK and work with the UK on its pilot scheme so that when the green certificate is up and running we, as a country, are not left on the runway but are flying with the other countries.
