Ms Phil Ní Sheaghdha:

In our submission we point to the good examples. The best example in this country so far has been the prison service where there has not been one infection among the prisoner population. There was a very tight regime of testing and tracing of prison officers and of all other attendees to prisons, combined with visitor restrictions, etc. Worldwide, it is known that testing and tracing is imperative in ensuring the safety of both the population that one serves but also those who go to work and who then acquire this terrible virus as an occupational illness.
