The current proposal is for regions. I believe the Commission calls it level 2. There are three regions in Ireland, which will make it much more difficult to implement. Not only would we need to know if a person is travelling to France, but we would need to know to which of the EU areas he or she is going. Airport testing will need to be looked at within that context. If I may, I will defer to the experts on testing here today to give a view on Ireland’s current expert advice on the use of airport testing.
