I agree with Mr. Waldron. I dare say he will not be the last witness from the private sector to speak about difficulties in engaging with the higher-ups in the public service and Civil Service. We highlighted that in a recent report.

I commend Mr. O'Leary of the National Bus and Rail Union on the work he has done. As a member of the Regional Group, I was out in front of even the NBRU in calling for masks to be mandated where social distancing was not possible. That has not been fully mandated but I believe we will end up going there. I will ask about the tourist coach industry. I understand some buses are fitted with high efficiency particulate air, HEPA, filters. I am told that other companies have been told they will have to fit these filters if they want to get back into business in the future. Is that the case?
