We received a submission at 9:32 this morning on testing and tracing from the HSE. That submission is dated 16 June. Could the Business Committee do an examination of the reason it arrived so late? Was it related to the HSE or just a bureaucratic issue? Clearly, it is difficult to engage in questions to witnesses when receiving a document two minutes after the meeting has started. Without making a big issue of it today, perhaps it is something the Business Committee will examine on Friday.

I thank our guests for coming here. Professor Mallon and Dr. Henry and his team are all busy people and we appreciate their presence here. I wish to ask Dr. Henry about workplace incidences. We have discussed meat plants previously and when Dr. De Gascun was here, I asked him whether there was any specific type of workplace outside of healthcare centres, other than meat plants, that had experienced a prevalence of Covid-19 cases that would cause concern. Dr. De Gascun's position was that he was unaware of any other workplaces. Can Dr. Henry confirm that meat plants were the only workplace where there was a prevalence of cases, outside of the healthcare services?
