Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: The Situation in Meat Processing Plants

Mr. Greg Ennis:

The Deputy can call it a commission or whatever. I wrote to the then Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine on 15 May looking to set up a task force with all stakeholders in the industry to get this right. I was told that it would not be happening and would not be constituted. We need to bring all parties together and that we need to focus on the conditions of workers both inside and outside the workplace. That is the only hope that we have of beating Covid in the meat industry.
