Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

We need to be honest here. There is a fundamental issue in the travel debate and the implications for the aviation industry. I take the Deputies' point that the Government is there to support all sectors of the economy, including aviation. However, the aviation task force had no public health representative or anyone giving a public health perspective on it, which I think was a mistake.
Fundamentally to keep the economy going, we need to be very cautious on the travel issue. Figures this morning from France, Germany, the UK and Spain show spikes in numbers. I think Spain had 14,000 last week.
