I said that in good form.
That is the essence of it. If one thinks through the logic of mandatory quarantining, how many hotels would the State have to book? The proportionate point the Deputy made is valid and there are complex legal issues involved. Essentially, it is about contact tracing and knowing where people are. That is where the electronic locator form comes into play. It is important because it enables us to have a ready capacity to contact people who may have been in contact with somebody who tested positive. That is actually the better approach to that.
We will work with the Deputy on the other issues he raised about Shannon Airport, the Shannon Group, along with the heritage sites and centres.
