Mr. Paul Reid:

We have two immediate stockpiles in both of our major warehouses. Separately, our strategic plan at the start of this was to work with other Government agencies and Departments to scale up existing indigenous industries to transition them towards PPE manufacture. We have had some good successes with that in certain line items of PPE, particularly masks, gowns and some gloves. We are working with other Departments and agencies to scale up Irish industry capacity to produce PPE. That is where we would like to see our efforts focused but we will be guided by public procurement requirements.
