Dr. Ronan Glynn:

Professor Cusack very helpfully engaged with the Office of the Chief Medical Officer over a number of months in respect of issues in Kildare. We continue to engage with him. After Dublin, Kildare has had the highest number of cases at almost 2,200, representing 8% of cases to date. This is part of the explanation.

I have given an answer on the issue of high-risk teachers. We cannot proclaim or provide a blanket approach. Each individual has a unique set of medical and other circumstances that mean the approach for him or her must be tailored. People need to engage with the occupational health service in the first instance as well as their employers.

Regarding Naas General Hospital, my understanding is that there was a very small cluster of cases there a couple of weeks ago and that everyone who needed to be tested in respect of that cluster was tested.
