I will be very quick. I am concerned about a comment made by Mr. Healy. The figures from SIPTU indicate that 25% of people, 3,850 of those working in these factories, have contracted Covid. Does he accept that figure?
I do not accept that figure. I do not know the basis for it or the background to it but I do not accept that figure. We are engaged with the HSE on an ongoing basis on behalf of members. We are very much focused on the positives that are being identified through ongoing, comprehensive serial testing-----
