Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Reopening the Economy: Supports for Business
Dr. Orlaigh Quinn:
What we did was we extended the time for the Safe Pass, so anybody who has one can continue to keep it. As already stated, however, if new people are coming on board, they have to do the training and that has been a particular concern because of the closing down of the education sector by the Department of Education and Science. I know that the latter is looking at options, and we are very keen to work with it to get that in place because, obviously, it offers new opportunities for people to work.
