I thank the witnesses for their participation and submissions today. I have two questions on testing in meat processing plants. First, I understand that the meat processing plants will be ramping up the testing in an attempt to curb the spread of the virus in these settings. We are looking at 6,000 plus workers tested weekly at approximately €150 a test. Who will be responsible for the cost of these tests? Will it be the meat industry? Mr. Healy might clarify an answer he gave earlier. That question is also for Mr. Carroll.
