That is a good suggestion. It is something we will need to address appropriately and at the right time. We will recognise all of those who have died as a consequence of Covid-19, but particularly those who worked in healthcare and put themselves at risk in the way that such workers do every day. There are death-in-service arrangements in place for healthcare staff who pass away as a result of coronavirus and I have asked the chief executive officer of the HSE to review those arrangements and see if there is any way we can enhance them, given the circumstances.
