I understand that is a matter for the environmental health section of the HSE. That is my information. All employers by this point should be fully aware of their responsibilities. If any employees feel any concerns about their physical safety, they should absolutely be in a position where they can speak up, where their employer should respond and where workplaces be made safe. The public health guidance from the Government on this issue is clear. The National Public Health Emergency Team has issued guidance on this and I also understand that the NSAI has provided Covid-19 workplace protection and an improvement guide to assist workplaces in this area. Only essential sites are allowed to remain open.

I repeat that this is a matter for the environmental health section of the HSE.
