Mr. Éamonn Donnelly:

We have had a similar experience with regard to section 39 voluntary agencies representing workers without those type of protections. Within the HSE structure, we do not have experience of that in Fórsa. It is no new thing for healthcare workers to go in when they are sick during non-Covid times. They go to work when they have bad colds and that is normal. On this occasion, we were at greats pains to point out to people that, notwithstanding some of the choices one makes to go into work when one has symptoms, they must not present on this occasion. We were at great pains to point that out within the context of the public guidance.
