I support what the Chair said about antigen testing. I welcome what the Minister said about further information that may be in the digital Covid certificate and that it will be delivered with regard to aviation. I thank the Minister for his time and leeway. I apologise for any leeway I may have sought. It is always easier to apologise afterwards.

To back up what Deputy O'Rourke said earlier, if someone in the Minister's Department was able to chase up the theory test, there is a strange scenario where people are still talking about cancellations occurring. We understood there was a time when the theory tests were not happening. It is disappointing and disconcerting and it is having a logistical impact on a significant number of people. Can that be dealt with?

Does the Minister have any updates of where the National Cyber Security Centre, NCSC, review is? I recognise that the Minister of State, Deputy Ossian Smyth, takes the lead on this. Is the Minister aware of where it is? Are there any other consequences from the ransomware attack with regard to us carrying out due diligence?
