I thought I had five minutes.

Can we examine these measures to see if they can be changed for music venues? We have musicians who are seriously struggling as well.

I have requested that the Minister, the Minister for transport and the Minister of State with responsibility for heritage, all of whom happen to be in the Green Party, will come together to look at the devastation that we are dealing with in the Shannon region as a result of the Shannon Group and what is happening in the area. There were issues there long before Covid. It is important that the Ministers work together on this.

We have one kind of tourism on which we have to focus in Ireland. All tourism must be ecotourism from now on. We are facing a climate and biodiversity challenge. Everybody comes to Ireland expecting real green tourism, not just greenwashing.
