Has Dr. Quinn had that feedback? This is where the issue seems to be. As I said, there are two defined issues. One relates to licensing and the other to the employment permit itself. With the current system for granting permits, the sector is unable to access employees satisfactorily. Outside that, no other jurisdiction has agreed a licence with Ireland. The Ukrainian licence is accepted in other EU jurisdictions, as I pointed out. The IRHA is becoming frustrated that nobody seems to be collaborating on these two aspects. I am assuming, or at least, I have been told that the association has made representations to both Departments. It may not be to Dr. Quinn but to the Minister. I will check that and I will follow up with Dr. Quinn. It is a simple issue to resolve, which we do not need to get into a crisis over. I have to follow up on it, with what I know about it.

I have a question about proof of eligibility for schemes. There were defined eligibility criteria for the temporary Covid-19 wage subsidy scheme, TWSS, but when we moved on to the restart grant schemes, I do not believe that eligibility criteria were set down. Am I right about that?
