Róisín Shortall: I thank all the witnesses for their presentations. I will concentrate on the issue of construction workers on big sites because they must be regarded as very high-risk workers.

It was also reported today that there is some issue about the HSA not being in a position to make unannounced visits to construction sites. This is mind boggling if we are talking about high-risk situations and poor...

Róisín Shortall: These sessions work very well. Many questions are asked and many answers are provided. I hope the Minister will answer all the questions I have for him today. In his opening comments he correctly praised the Irish people for all they have done to flatten the curve and control the virus. The problem lies elsewhere. Unfortunately, the side of the deal which involves having a testing and...
