I thank Mr. King. I do not wish to go over ground that has been covered already by Ms Leonard Dibra and Mr. Staunton but this was mentioned earlier. Did the witnesses find in the United States that Covid-19 changed people's views of emigration? Many Irish people returned as a result of Covid-19. Would the witnesses see Covid-19 as being in some way responsible for a lifestyle change that has resulted in people deciding to return from America to Ireland? Is that an issue? If that has not been dealt with already, the witnesses might make mention of it and then provide us with their final message. I thank them both.
