Mr. Donall O'Keeffe:

We tried to make it explicit in our opening statement that we are feeling huge pressure this summer. This is a long-term issue that will be with us for the next three to five years in an economy that is at virtually full employment. We are in an economy where we will be competing with construction, retail and hospitality, which are all labour-intensive jobs. Ultimately, the elements of the service industry all need huge numbers of staff. While summer 2022 is hugely important, the bigger challenge is to develop a programme this summer that helps us to work our way through this in 2023, 2024 and 2025. It would be disappointing if we were sitting here facing the summer season next year in an identical position. That longer-term strategic approach is critical because this issue will be with us for the medium term.
