As a final point, sometimes opportunities pass people by. There were two really quickly delivered protocols here in the last two years. One was the digital Covid certificates. I was going to say we all had them on our phones but some people bought in and some did not. However, most people were embracing vaccines, the technology that went into the certification, etc, and people adapted very quickly to that. Was the obvious thing not to build on that and on e-prescriptions, which were digital foundations? I do not think anyone in the country is checking their online Covid tracker anymore. Certification has pretty much become dormant. Was that not the golden opportunity to go one-nil up that the HSE let pass by?
