Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

When I heard the Deputy say the end of September, something came to mind in terms of Kerry people sometimes, although not at all times. I had better not say anything as I am Taoiseach. We have looked at a variety of mechanisms in terms of how we would reflect the State's appreciation of not only front-line healthcare workers but all front line workers who have enabled people to get through what has been a very difficult journey of the pandemic itself. The hospitality sector, in particular, has suffered enormously as a result of the virus and the pandemic. We will look at a variety of mechanisms that we could deploy to assist the hospitality sector and the Deputy has suggested one. There will be others and we will keep the matter under review.
