That is my question.

There is a view that the Johnson ideology is such that he wants to fold the crisis of a hard Brexit into the crisis of coronavirus and fudge the difference, but that is a different matter. My final, brief question relates to quarantine. As the Minister explained, we are going to have a quarantine of 14 days for people coming into the country.

Many European countries are now talking about links, land bridges or air bridges. I heard the Portuguese foreign minister talk about that in relation to Britain today. Are we negotiating, either within the EU or outside it, for land bridges between bilateral countries where there is very limited Covid infection? Will that help to give some sort of allowance of internal or external movement?

Look at the terms they have already agreed.

The Taoiseach was on the phone.

We are allowed 20 Members. There are not 20 Members here.

The Government's money will not fill that gap.

I am glad to have the opportunity, even if it is only ten minutes, to deal with the issue of local government. We are well into this crisis and we have not had any debate about local government until now. As others have said, local authorities have very much been a front-line service. In my county of Wexford and across the country they have been the first port of call for many and the anchor bringing together community organisations. The GAA and everyone else who all wanted to help rallied through the local authori…

It is a guesstimate.

If it is not right, will the Minister of State pony up the balance? That is my question.

Is that a commitment?

I want to be clear. Is it the case that the full amount of estimated commercial rates will be met and any shortfall will be calculated at the end and rebated expeditiously to local authorities?

That is very helpful. My second question relates to the goods and services income of €1.3 billion. Again, that is €108 million per month or €325 million for three months. It is obvious that this crisis is going to go beyond three months. Again, some services will not be impacted but others will be very significantly impacted. The Minister of State himself instanced car parking for example. There are incomes that will never be recouped. They are not going to come back and pay for all the car parking lost.

That is the point. That is not going to happen. In fact, I think that will be a permanent reduction. There are others that will also be lost such as planning fees. The situation will very much depend on the local authority. In my local authority, harbour dues, for example, will be lost. Significant portions of the €108 million per month will be lost. So far, in answer to other Deputies, the Minister of State has indicated that the Cabinet will consider this on Friday. I want to know what they are considering. I hop…

No. I will be aiming to get another one in if I can. If the Minister could just say "Yes", I would like an answer now on Friday's decision.

Rates only.

The Minister of State is doing well so far.

I believe it is €87 million.

Can I ask for clarity on the principle around that point? The Minister of State says that the Government will meet the rates shortfall in full. If it is rolled over the Government will presumably provide a recurring monthly amount for rates. Is there at least a commitment to give a proportion of the goods and services loss as well?

Will that be from the Exchequer and not only by balancing allocations across the country?
