First of all, the Deputy will be happy to hear that I agree with her that clothes are essential, particularly for children. The Deputy was in favour of the level 5 restrictions, as advised by NPHET, which include the closure of non-essential retail. Retail outlets have provided a number of options, such as click and collect, where people can make a telephone call, order clothes and call in to collect them. There is also the online option. I accept that while it is being well used, it is not available to everybody. Some shops also do deliveries. In addition, the Community Call initiative offers assistance to people, particularly vulnerable and senior citizens, in getting shopping delivered to them. I recently met a number of Community Call volunteers in Dublin City Council, including one from Raheny GAA club, who told me that they are doing a lot of shopping for senior citizens in their areas.
