The unions gave a different view this morning. The representatives said there were situations when they filed complaints as a result of proper procedures not being followed.

I shall move on to the issue referred to earlier whereby 22 clusters were identified at a very early stage. In fairness, Kildare Chilling Company and its employees were not identified in that cluster back in April and May. Was any analysis done by the meat industry to know if there is a common connection anywhere with regard to the virus coming into the factories. We now have a once-off situation of many people being infected in one facility. Is any investigation being done by the meat industry? It would suit the industry to make sure that there are no positive cases, and therefore every effort is, I am sure, being done by the industry to ensure that there are no positive cases. Has any analysis been done on the 22 clusters and on the most recent outbreak that has been identified in one factory?
