Correspondence dated 13 March states: "Dear Kathleen ... Thank you again. We wish to acknowledge your engagement ... We are committed ... and thank you for your participation." I appreciate that there is back and forth and clarity in respect of PPE and that that was an issue. I appreciate that testing was an issue. I appreciate that these were issues, collectively and nationally, not just for the sector but also for the State. Mr. Daly said he felt isolated. It is a really important statement. When he engaged with Deputy Cullinane, he stated that he sought a meeting with the Minister on 19 March. To correct the record, he had a conference call with Department officials on 20 March. Is that correct?
