Mr. Cormac Healy:

The HSE provided the full details on this, as it has full oversight of the matter. Of cases in the meat industry, the HSE stated there was 100% contact tracing within meat plants and 90% beyond that, which is high. This relates to a number of Deputies' questions. The use of contact logs was one of the early actions. It was within the broader advice that comprehensive contact logs be kept.

Where there were developing issues in a plant, local HSE teams were involved, there was immediate and direct engagement with the site and all of the information in question was sought and delivered. We are grateful for the work that was done at local level by the HSE. A significant effort was made to contain situations. The contact logs were handed to the HSE. I do not know any more beyond that. The comprehensive contact logs were at the core of the contact tracing.
