Mr. Tadhg Daly:

Let me be clear that I am not shifting responsibility. We take our responsibility very seriously. I am highlighting the facts, which are that there were gaps in terms of the supports. It is not about supports for the private, public or voluntary sector; it is about supports for older people. Many of the measures we took on infection control, sourcing personal protective equipment, isolation within nursing homes and nursing homes being prepared with contingency planning could be improved but that is for another day. At this point, nothing stands out, to be honest, with regard to whether we would do things differently.
