I thank the Cathaoirleach and I welcome the witnesses. My questions are quite specific so I do not wish everybody to answer them just the relevant person. If it is Dr. Ni Bhriain, that is fine. I am looking for information in the first instance. Dr. Ni Bhriain stated that 194 cases of the monkeypox virus have been notified so far and that there have been 11 hospitalisations. Is the position likely to have been understated? Would it be the case that there may be some people who are infected and about whom the HSE may not have been notified? Is it likely that number is at the lower end of how many are actually infected?
