I wish to say to Mr. Ó hÓbáin before I finish and call Deputy Ó Cuív that I do not dispute anything he says. I know that Covid-19 was a difficulty. I do dispute, however, what he says about the re-establishment of the task force. I think it would have made a difference. The key difference it would have made is that there would have been a Minister leading that task force, which was the case in the past. As anyone who has been involved in the task force knows, it made a significant difference in moving issues along. That is not an issue for Mr. Ó hÓbáin and is above his remit but I just wanted to put that on the record.
