Mr. Danny McCoy:

We would all like certainty and precision but the reality is that our business models are complex. We do not know who is interconnected to whom. Let us take a fabric company, for instance, and the question of whether such a company is essential. Its neighbours might say it is not but if that company is part of a global hub and a supplier to Boeing and Airbus, for instance, then it is part of a global hub supplying an essential service and should be open. It is very difficult for the State to intervene and say something should close if it takes away one of the building blocks of a necessity. It has been very difficult but in the main, the State has got it right. The main difficulty lies in the public realm in terms of the instructions about how we use public space, including public transport, crèches, schools and so on. That is where society wants more direction from Government and the Legislature, rather than in the workplace.
