Dr. Orlaigh Quinn:

Part of the work we do is to advise the Government on the reopening phases. In our last report on the economic impacts, we cited the issue of a 2 m limit versus a 1 m limit. We have in our report some of the data from Bord Fáilte that the Deputy pointed to, so we have put that out there. It is an area we are looking at. It is in the return to work protocol that businesses that cannot maintain a 2 m limit, such as some manufacturing businesses, can put in Perspex and they are not confined to the 2 m limit. We have made that clear in the return to work protocol. We are conscious that it is an issue from a business perspective and we are feeding into the Government centrally on that. The Government will take a decision in due course and we are guided by public health advice on that as well.
