Ms Oonagh Buckley:

We certainly have enough masks. We would have to go on the best advice available to us as to whether people should wear them in those circumstances. That is why I want to come back to the Deputy on the current state of play with regard to the advice. As he knows, there is great concern within the HSE that people would not use medical grade gear inappropriately, and there may be some circumstances, as I understand it, where it may cause problems.
