I will briefly go back to the practical example the Deputy gave me earlier on. It was also in recognition of the kind of issues the Deputy is referring to that we changed the CRSS. I would expect that some or all of the businesses the Deputy is referring to that were not in a position to trade after 8 p.m. or that had their business significantly impacted by public health regulations could then move onto the CRSS, whereas a year ago they could only have moved onto that scheme if their premises were fully closed. It was also in recognition of the issue the Deputy is raising that we maintained the subsidy rate at €350.

I refer to the other two questions the Deputy has put to me. Was the first question on AIB?
