I thank the witnesses for their contributions today. I will continue in the same vein as the Chairman because it is an area of interest. The issue of foreign travel is particularly contentious in Ireland, and this follows on from the previous questions and the witnesses' responses. Ireland has a green list. A similar traffic light system is in operation in other countries across Europe and the world. We have Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade advices and guidelines from the Government. In the international experience, what is the legal basis for such restrictions? Are there legal bases in other countries that do not apply in Ireland? Where do the witnesses believe that improvements can be made?
