Again, I thank the Deputy for raising the question. He had not flagged any particular area in his question but I am happy to take on board his advice, guidance and suggestions. They will be passed on.

When any advice is updated on movement restrictions, the work safety protocol in place at the time is the one to be followed. The new version that will be published in the next couple of days will be about the sixth or seventh version. Workers going back to work at that stage will follow that protocol. The protocol has been very successful. In this regard, there have been over 42,500 inspections by our agencies. There has been an adherence rate of over 90% at all times. If the Deputy has any suggestions on the protocol, I will be happy to take them on board over the next couple of days.
