Last February, my party leader and I wrote to the Taoiseach asking about the status of the pandemic inquiry into nursing homes. In his response, he said that a scoping inquiry would be established. We had asked that there would be sufficient engagement with organisations like Care Champions, the Irish Association of Social Workers, Safeguarding Ireland and others as well as briefings and discussions with the Opposition and party leaders to ensure the terms of reference for that scoping inquiry are robust.

Can the Taoiseach inform the House where we are with that inquiry? When are we likely to see it? Will he confirm that there will be sufficient engagement with all stakeholders in advance of any terms of reference being established for that inquiry?
