I thank Lord Sumption. I will speak to Dr. Buquicchio on the issue of air travel. Ireland's dependence on international access was highlighted. I know there are probably different protocols but is there anything within Dr. Buquicchio's office that can describe a European protocol for aviation to which Ireland might ultimately be obliged to adhere? We have most stringent airline protocols in terms of flying into and out of the country, whereas Germany and France have far more relaxed rules. Is there anything under European guidance that could impose a different scenario in Ireland in terms of aviation and air access?
