Sorry, I find extraordinary the situation that we have in meat factories. Here is an example of one industry where we have a real problem. We are being told the HSA is the body that can go in, do the inspections and then put in place penalties or sanctions, and close businesses. The HSA has received complaints about meat factories where we know there were clusters and none of the authority's inspectors has been able to go in there. That does not instill any confidence in me in how Dr. McGuinness's organisation will respond to other queries.
