Mr. Paul Gallagher:

There was a positive legacy from Covid. Irish people and Irish businesses found new ways to meet the challenge. Outdoor dining, beer gardens and outdoor restaurant facilities opened. One sees much more street entertainment going on. Those are all positive aspects of Covid. The Deputy is quite right. Some businesses use Covid to strengthen their futures. Those that grasp the nettle first have done best and those that were late to it probably will not survive, which is also quite sad though, of course.
