I am taking it that the Deputy is referring to alleged breaches by indoor operators in businesses regulated under the the Health Act 1947 (Sections 31AB AND 31AD) (Covid-19) (Operation of certain indoor premises) Regulations 2021 (S.I. No. 385 of 2021), as amended.
The HSE and the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) were both identified as relevant bodies under the above regulations and are collaborating closely on this.
I have been advised by the HSE that it does not comment on follow up action in individual cases for operational reasons. My colleague, the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment has also advised that the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) has a similar policy in place.
