Ms Deirdre Seery:

The national press cover things primarily in Dublin, even if we do something bigger in Cork. I am not griping, but such media coverage, in terms of social responsibility, gives the impression that these issues do not exist outside of Dublin, so it does not help the centre. The Evening Echoin Cork is fantastic, as it gives great coverage to our testing programmes. I agree with Deputy Ó Caoláin that local media have a role to play. When the Evening Echocovers our rapid testing services, people come to us, so media attention does work.
