My first question is for the HSE. Mistakes are made in a time of crisis. The most important role of the committee and all of the stakeholders is that we learn to be better prepared in case we have a second wave, which is highly probable. In his opening statement this morning, Mr. Daly of Nursing Homes Ireland referred to aggressive recruitment of nursing home staff initially by the HSE. Is it true that the HSE actively head hunted staff from nursing homes? Was this not unfair and counter-productive?
