That leads on to my next question. In terms of the level of supports that have been offered so far internationally, we heard from representative groups in Ireland which said very clearly to us that the Irish Government has not provided the scale of support that has been provided by other states. Mr. Walsh mentioned earlier that this may not be the case, and I would be interested in his perspective on that. We have the employment wage subsidy scheme in place and there are similar schemes internationally. How does Mr. Walsh see the transition? Will there be further cuts across the board? What types of subsidies and supports will be needed into the future to sustain the sector in its recovery? What does the future look like in terms of the ask from the industry on state and other supports?
