Ms Edel McGinley:

We can only go on what the workers tell us, which paints a very mixed picture. Some are confident and some are very unconfident about the statistics we have provided to the committee. Many people are scared this will slip back. Production levels are the same. It would be interesting to ask the meat industry about its production levels right throughout the pandemic and now - how high they were and what the output was throughout the sector. That would be indicative of how quickly workers are working and where they are working. That is a really important piece of information we do not have.
