On that issue of meat factories, Dr. Glynn mentioned the need for a proportionate response and Professor Nolan also mentioned the need for proportionality. As counties Kildare, Laois and Offaly were locked down, we heard from Meat Industry Ireland and the HSA, and they confirmed that 39 meat plants had been inspected, of which 30 inspections were pre-announced. The day after it was announced that we, as a State, were not in a position to move to phase 4, Dr. Glynn pointed out there had been 47 cases in meat plants and four clusters, and that was the most recent of a large number of clusters. We have had no clusters in any hospitality business yet, in one weekend, there were 6,000 inspections of licensed premises, of which less than 0.5% showed any lack of compliance. Is Dr. Glynn happy that that aspect of the State's response was proportionate to the risk?
