My final question relates to the HSA. I understand the line Minister responsible is the Tánaiste, Deputy Varadkar. I have raised an issue directly with him. As it currently stands, the HSA does not have a role in inspecting healthcare facilities. Acquiring Covid in the workplace is not considered to be an occupational injury, notwithstanding the fact that it was acquired as part of a person's occupation. I thought it was a no-brainer, but I have been out of the industrial relations game for some time. To me, if someone acquires an infection as part of his or her work it is an occupational injury. Would the witnesses have a view on that?
