Good morning to Dr. Holohan and his team. I join in the comments commending them on their work over the past two years. We all know it was a very difficult period for everybody, but NPHET, in navigating through it, had to impose or recommend restrictions that had a huge impact on people’s lives. It was all about keeping people safe. The vast majority of people recognise that and would commend the witnesses on their work.

My first question is one that I hope the witnesses will not take personally and that they might have anticipated: when are we likely to see a winding down of NPHET? Is it likely, and what is the timescale?
