Dr. Sharon McGuinness:

Many of the plants actively involved in the outbreak are closed so there is no ability to inspect. Obviously, as they reopen we will undertake further unannounced inspections. The HSA is working very closely with the local outbreak control teams. The reality is that this is a public health led matter. Questions around some of the recommendations, and what we are trying to ensure is online and in place in these workplaces, may be best coming to the HSE and public health in that regard. We work very closely with them and we will continue to do so.
