Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: The Situation in Meat Processing Plants
Colm Burke (Cork North Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I thank all the people who have presented to the committee today for the work they are doing. This morning I asked the unions when a person is identified with Covid, if all the other employees who work in that area are asked to self-isolate. The unions more or less indicated that did not always happen. They filed complaints on that matter on a number of occasions. I ask Mr. Carroll or Mr. Healy to comment on that. The protocols were not being followed all the time, leading to the situation becoming more serious.
