Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by HSE Officials (19 May 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: I will ask one very brief question if I could. Arising from that meeting, and in the intervening time the HSE did not commission a report or ask anyone to investigate if it would be a good idea to restricted visiting in public nursing homes; it waited for advice. Is that right?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by ICTU, HSA and CIF Representatives on the Reopening of the Construction Industry (19 May 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: I am indeed. I have some questions that relate to the construction industry and some that relate to other areas of work. We have received new public health advice for how we conduct our business here. I am sure that nobody, least of all our esteemed witnesses, would suggest that there should be a kind of upstairs-downstairs situation whereby there is one rule for us and another for the...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by ICTU, HSA and CIF Representatives on the Reopening of the Construction Industry (19 May 2020)

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by ICTU, HSA and CIF Representatives on the Reopening of the Construction Industry (19 May 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: Okay. I want to tease this out. Dr. McGuinness said some sites closed down and some complaints were resolved by telephone or a non-physical presence on site. What about the other ones?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by ICTU, HSA and CIF Representatives on the Reopening of the Construction Industry (19 May 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: Perhaps Dr. McGuinness and I have different definitions of what does and does not constitute a complaint being addressed. Some of those who have contacted me do not feel their queries were addressed. I respect what she is saying with regard to the process. Can she talk me through what happens now if a worker on a construction site has a complaint? I take the point made by Mr. Parlon...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by ICTU, HSA and CIF Representatives on the Reopening of the Construction Industry (19 May 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: I hope we do too. Mr. Parlon might be very brief on that. I ask him to address whether, in the event that these protocols are not followed, his members are prepared and understand that they may have to close a site.
