That information is assessed as part of ongoing surveillance by the HPSC and discussed by NPHET. At its press conferences, which used to be held daily, information is provided in respect of occupations, particularly as regards healthcare workers, in the context of outbreaks and their background. A significant amount of information on positive cases is collated by our public health departments. That was the case even when there was a large number of cases. The information is not exhaustive to the degree suggested by the Deputy, that is, that it narrows down each case of infection to the person's occupation and one particular place, but it gives broad indications in terms of healthcare workers, age, occupation-----
