I wish to advise the Deputy that The Expert Group on the role of Ventilation submitted two reports while reporting to the NPHET at the Department of Health, these were shared with the HPSC and HSE-AMRIC for due consideration in the context of the ongoing review and development of guidance.
These reports, along with relevant agendas and meeting minutes are available on the gov.ie website: www.gov.ie/en/publication/aa43c-expert-group-on-the-role-of-ventilation-in-reducing-transmission-of-covid-19/#reports
I have also provided links to some published health sector guidance on ventilation:
