I welcome Mr. Reid and his team. I appreciate that there was certainly a context to the events. That is important to note. We remember the sharing of ventilators in Italy and we appreciate that ICUs have been hugely under-resourced. Let us accept that that is the scenario we are talking about. I think every member of the committee appreciates all of the work done, particularly by those workers in the HSE on the front line.

In relation to procurement, we are being told that a number of legal challenges have been taken. One such challenge has been taken against the HSE. What is the nature of that challenge? I am not asking for a long response; I wish to know what it is about. A variety of items are being challenged. Can the witnesses provide us with the details of what four or five of those items are?
