Ms Dee Forbes:

We constantly review our programming. As the Deputy pointed out, this year was very difficult. It was a difficult year here too. Many things that were supposed to happen on New Year's Eve did not happen, including the annual fireworks and the big bang moment at 12 midnight. There was meant to be a huge concert in Dublin Castle, which had to be cancelled because of Covid. There is no doubt we were dealing with incredibly difficult circumstances. I am sorry to hear that the Deputy did not enjoy the programme.
