Dr. Siobhán Kennelly:

I will not press it as Ms O'Neill has covered a lot of it. Essentially, Covid-related deaths are very specifically those deaths that occur in residents who have been detected as being Covid positive, either through serial testing or because they have been symptomatic. As the Deputy will be aware, all deaths in nursing homes are reported through the coronial system so there is a system of engagement between GPs, coroners and public health experts about what would be recorded as the cause of death within those settings and how that then gets recorded in our national system.
