To add to what Deputies Byrne and Durkan have said regarding government awareness and plans the Nigerian Government has in place, Dr. Fitzpatrick spoke about people all having mobile phones. On visits we have made to Africa, we have seen that everybody has a mobile phone.
No matter where one goes, in the most isolated regions of Africa, everybody has a mobile phone or maybe two. Has any government awareness campaign on the prevention of ebola been communicated through mobile phone technology?
