That is precisely what it has done. I have a final question to give the Minister a chance to clarify an earlier remark he made about Covid deaths. He said that Ireland had the third lowest number of Covid deaths in the EU and mentioned Finland and Denmark as being lower. I checked those statistics and it seems that Cyprus, Malta, Estonia and the Netherlands all have lower rates of death, which still puts us in the lower half, at seventh lowest rather than third lowest.
