Is it a notice party either? No.

I refer to insurance companies. One letter I saw required publicans to identify cases of Covid-19 within 20 miles of their establishment. At that time, as the HSE and NPHET were not saying where particular cases were occurring, it was impossible for pubs to do that. Since then, the Central Statistics Office, CSO, has published the breakdown of cases per district electoral division, DED. Is that something Mr. Makhlouf welcomed? Did he have any part in it?
