I will leave the financial element to my colleague, the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Humphreys, but I know she already has plans in that regard and will continue to work with the business community. From a public health point of view, Deputy Fitzpatrick is entirely correct. We need to provide as much support and advice to businesses, sports clubs, schools, etc. so they can adapt to what is going to be a new reality, at least for the time being, regarding physical distancing. When the roadmap is published tomorrow, or the national plan, I hope that will be an opportunity for sectors to engage with Government, in the widest sense of the word, on how they might adapt their approach to providing their businesses or running their organisations so that they can protect their staff or users during the period of this virus, but can still try at a safe point in time to reopen and get back to not normality, but maybe a new normal.
