Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statement 2020 and Related Matters: HSE (Resumed)

10:30 am

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

At the previous meeting, we referenced the hand sanitisers and the issues in that regard with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. That covers all of the relevant hand sanitisers. We also said that we were not aware of any other stocks. Since then, we have become aware, as referenced by Mr. Reid, of 1 million FFP2 masks which an assessment indicates are not fit for purpose. As I understand it, it has been agreed with the supplier that it will replace those 1 million masks. We were not aware of that at the previous meeting, but I am happy to clarify that now.
