I have some questions for Dr. McGuinness. It has been reported that 200 complaints of breaches of the Covid regulations have been made. How many of those have been inspected? It was also reported today that there is some issue about the HSA not being in a position to make unannounced visits to construction sites. This is mind boggling if we are talking about high-risk situations and poor risk assessment done on the reopening of building sites. What will the HSA be doing to ensure adherence to the regulations on construction sites?
