I might pick up there while Ms Kennelly is reconnecting to the meeting. There were people here working on visas who were then trapped, and we are still seeing those delays even as the US embassy in Dublin has reopened. People are still here, to a certain extent, who have lived out this two-year process of not being able to return because they could not secure an appointment.
