Ms Phil Ní Sheaghdha:

Covid-19 has not gone away. It is still here, it still poses a risk to our members at work and the infection of healthcare workers continues. We want the HSA to be on the pitch with the regulated authority to look at what has happened. This should not be the HSE or the Department of Health looking at themselves. We have a statutory body with this responsibility and we call on the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation to change the position and make sure it has statutory powers to investigate what happened, why it happened and what we can do to prevent it. That is imperative and has to be done now.
