Ms Frances Byrne:

Certainly, I picked up from the INMO general secretary that it was more about that. One does not want to rely on anecdotal evidence too much, but in the fast-moving environment post-12 March, when the front-line scheme failed some members were telling us in Early Childhood Ireland that they were not clear about the precautions that front-line staff were taking. That may have been a factor in the broader concerns that people had. There may be something in that about the broader public - not just early years providers but others - having sight of or understanding the measures that nurses, doctors etc. take before they go to work every day and when they come home. There probably is something in that.
