============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I thank the Deputies for raising this issue. We are moving to level 5 at midnight for six weeks. Many sectors are already identifying themselves as being capable of operating safely. This will be a difficult and tough six weeks. There was an oversight meeting of Departments this morning to make it clear to many Departments that we want level 5 to work. The capacity to create exemptions in respect of different sectors just does not exist. People are looking for different exemptions in different areas.
