I thank the Deputy for raising those issues. It is recognised that the HSA will need additional resources to oversee compliance with the Covid-19 Return to Work Safely Protocol. It is also recognised that relevant officers of other Departments and agencies, together with the Health and Safety Authority, will need to oversee compliance. The necessary resources will certainly be made available to the HSA. I want to compliment the HSA on the work it has done in putting together the Return to Work Protocol. It has worked very closely with the HSE and all the employer representatives, including IBEC, ICTU, the CIF and also with Chambers Ireland. It has done a lot of work in that regard. There are very clear processes around when the HSA get a complaint. I have no doubt that it will get all the resources it needs to carry out this very important work.
