Not a word about the employees that have to go in and work in the plants risking bringing the virus home to their family if they become infected at work . Not all of us can stay at home and get paid for it .

It means sourcing extra materials, training extra staff, distributing the experienced staff in new teams, and that's assuming the labs and lines have excess capacity or can be transferred to 24/7 production (which isn't possible for all products). All while maintaining extremely high quality control (because you make a mistake you could kill someone with lousy product, get your entire plant audited by national (and international) authorities). Once you make the extra product, you need to boost storage, distribution, etc. It's not like flicking a switch and anyone who doesn't know that should be given airtime on the news, let along hold a position in a mainstream party. The idea a plant that makes one pharma product could just transfer to making "tests" or some different product is so ignorant it's nearly beyond description.
We already see some companies voluntarily switching their production lines to make essential supplies - for instance in France LVMH is converting its perfume factories to make hand sanitiser2, and in Spain, fragrance and fashion business Puig has offered the Government its production capacity for the manufacturing of hydroalcoholic and sanitising solutions3. In Italy, pharma company Menarini has converted its production plant to produce and donate disinfectant gel4. In the UK, distillery companies are said to be switching production to hand sanitiser5, and France's Pernod Ricard confirmed it is supplying its 96% proof alcohol to partners producing sanitising gel in the UK, France, Ireland and Sweden (with national tax authorities rushing to pave the way)6.

Today at our briefing I urged the@HSELive to step up engagements with the pharmaceutical companies in Ireland to ensure that we have a secure & steady supply of testing kits & equipment as well as PPE for staff who need it
FrancieBrady wrote: » But the IT article contradicts what you say. Production can clearly be ramped up in some facilities. I don't doubt you work in a plant, but there are all levels of employees. So without anything concrete your end I will stick with what facts about this I can find. My god lads and lassies, if you don't expect your politicians to speak up in a crisis (even if they are profoundly wrong) what kind of servile whipping dogs are you? Try to imagine what it would be like when FG realise their goal of being in opposition...would Leo be 'mouthing off' everytime he called for something?

FrancieBrady wrote: » Apparently, neither do you have a clue...as you immediately claimed a company couldn't step up to the plate and she was 'mouthing off'. As the IT article shows a fairly major one is waiting to do just that if they negotiate a deal with the HSE and NHS. Now if you can show any back up at all that ALL other pharma plants can not do similar that would back up your position.

And any politician is going to put possible solutions on the table and is not going to worry about upsetting a few easily annoyed. Many many people and businesses have moved heaven and earth, why would the pharma industry not be asked to do the same? Oh I fecking forgot...they might move if we upset them. :rolleyes:
