Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

It is not my role to talk about those processes. There is intensive work. I am not sure. There could be between 50 and 100 cases where the S gene is dropping off, but only a fraction of those will prove to be Omicron. There are formal and well-set-out arrangements for case notification and follow-up. We will find any cases that emerge, just because of the rigour and focus. New variants are examined with great proactivity by the HSE.
