I wish to thank Ms Siobhán Murphy so much, on behalf of all of us, for what she has done.

Does she believe that lessons have been learned by the HSE and the Government from the rather harrowing experience she has clearly gone through? Does she get any sense that the problems will be addressed? What would making the situation different and better for her entail on the ground as a front-line healthcare worker in the autumn? Is it about more staff, working fewer hours, fewer periods of exposure and more support for the psychological impacts? I have a question for Ms Ní Sheaghdha as well, which must be quick as I am out of time.
