Minister reassures HSA they 'will get what they need' to oversee Covid-19 compliance in workplaces

Business Minister Heather Humphreys has said that extra funding will be made available to ensure that workplaces adhere to public health advice on coronavirus.

Ms Humphreys yesterday launched the Government's Return to Work safety protocol for workplaces to reopen once the Covid-19 restrictions begin to lift. The document empowers the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) to close businesses which are found to not be adhering to the guidelines.
