It is the results of the inspections that are of such concern, particularly the WRC inspections cited by my colleague, Deputy O'Reilly, which showed that one in two meat factories is consistently failing. I will move on because there is a shortage of time. I want to take up the question put by Deputy Paul Murphy. Does MII think it is acceptable that only 20% of workers are covered by a sick pay scheme within the industry? After all, this was a recommendation of an all-party Oireachtas committee a year ago. I cannot understand the lack of progress on that.
