I am seeking clarification regarding the health advice this House was given which has led to the Minister for Health refusing to attend a second session of the Dáil, and the serious implications this raises for businesses and workers all over the State. It is concerning that the Dáil debate he has refused to attend concerns the situation of meat factories, which appear to be operating to very different standards than those that were laid down before this House. It is ironic that in this very controlled environment, politicians are being protected from attending for more than two hours-----
