I apologise to Dr. Cuddihy. Notwithstanding that we may not be comparing like with like, he must accept that there were very high levels of infection among healthcare workers in this State.

Leaving aside the differences in comparisons, it is very high in European terms. I asked why the rate was so high for front-line workers in Ireland, leaving aside other variations that may not be fair. Even building them in, it is still very high. Why is that?
