I thank Paul Reid and the other witnesses for making themselves available this morning and I commend them on the excellent work they do on behalf of the Irish public. I have a number of questions. On Saturday evening, NPHET announced that there were five further Covid-related deaths. Obviously, our condolences go out to the five families. Can one of the witnesses tell me when those deaths occurred? Did they occur last week or are they historic deaths that are only now being recorded?
