I thank Mr. Russoniello. It would be reasonable to say that Ireland's experience during Covid was that we had fewer numbers of people accessing supports and we saw a drop in people, so it is unfair for the experience of Covid to be used to roll back on decriminalisation. I can feel Mr. Russoniello's annoyance at that and I completely agree with him.
