Mr. Niall Cody:
On a weekly basis we review the level of EWSS per sector. Last week we were looking at elements of the construction sector that are still claiming. By and large, those figures are going down significantly as things have opened. The system was based on an annual turnover and the turnover rules still apply. There may well be certain conditions. By and large, accommodation, food services, arts, entertainment and recreation are the big elements of the EWSS overall and increasingly on the monthly system. We can produce monthly analysis of the sector support if that is helpful to the Deputy.
