Yes, Dr. Sullivan made that point earlier. It is the first time that I have heard Covid cited as a response to this question. Everything was impacted by Covid but schools continued to function albeit under pressure and the Oireachtas continued to function. Policy development in a range of Departments, commercial State-sponsored bodies and different entities continued to function and produce content while contemporaneous work was being done on the other cycles.
