I thank the HSE delegation for its statement this morning. I have two questions.

The first question is in regard to workplace transmissions. SIPTU made a statement last week that serial testing in meat processing plants has been reduced in recent times. My experience with the Health and Safety Authority, HSA, in regard to workplace manifestations has been, to say the least, quite haphazard. I understand the HSE's remit does not cover the HSA. How is the HSE co-ordinating communication and the strategy of crushing the virus in workplace manifestations because it has been a serious issue from day one? The witnesses might answer that question about the strategy of the HSA and the HSE.
