Senator Higgins is substituting today for Senator Ruane, and we have no apologies. Before we begin, I request that members sit only in the permitted seats and in front of avail- able microphones to ensure they are heard. This is important as not doing so causes serious problems for broadcast, editorial and sound staff. I remind those present to please maintain so- cial distancing at all times during and following the meeting. I ask those members participating remotely to keep their devices on mute until they are invited to speak. When speaking, I ask that cameras be switched on where possible and for members to be mindful that we are now in public session. In addition, I remind members of the constitutional requirements regarding the necessity for members to be physically present within the confines of the place where Parliament has chosen to sit, namely, Leinster House, in order to participate in public meetings.

As the Deputy will appreciate, as well as the obligation not to identify applicants for international protection under Section 26 of the International Protection Act 2015, planning for the management of the public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic is being led by the HSE and the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET). The identification of and reporting on any clusters, outbreaks or confirmed cases of Covid-19 is a matter for NPHET and the Health Protection Surveillance Centre. The NPHET's policy is to maintain patient confidentiality at all times. It is also the policy of my Department that we maintain the confidentiality of International Protection applicants at all times and therefore we do not comment on any individuals who avail of our services. As the Deputy will appreciate, international protection applicants have the same right to privacy and medical confidentiality as everyone else.
