On 19 March, Nursing Homes Ireland had a conference call with the Minister. On 20 March, it had a conference call with the Department of Health. On 24 March, Nursing Homes Ireland was looking for financial assistance. On 26 March, the Minister confirmed that to it and, on 29 March, there was a meeting. On 4 April, the temporary financial assistance scheme was launched. Correspondence shows that no one from NPHET asked Nursing Homes Ireland not to tell families where the cases or clusters were. Are all of these facts correct?
