I welcome Mr. Walsh. I am sure everything he said will be counterbalanced by NPHET, the Department of Health and the HSE, which will say that public health lies at the core of everything we do. I concur with Mr. Walsh in his remarks - I am paraphrasing - that we have a repressive regime and that if we are to have access to and involvement in the digital green certificate and if people are fully vaccinated, then there should be no mandatory hotel quarantine and people should be able to come and go freely. In the context of Mr. Walsh's last remarks on critical connectivity on a commercial basis, does he see a difficulty for us, as an island nation, in terms of connectivity in a post-Covid world?
