I want to discuss recommendations, which are the important part. In his opening statement, Dr. McCartney said:

... the political decisions and recommendations which flow from today’s meeting must be the right ones, and the policy actions into which they translate must be delivered swiftly and decisively to alter the trajectory of this pandemic and to save lives.

I do not see many recommendations in his opening statement. I presume he wants to flesh those out in the context of this conversation. He says he wants to see action, interventions and solutions, so I invite him to use the remainder of my time to spell out, as if he was talking directly to the HSE or the Minister for Health, the immediate courses of action he thinks need to be taken by our public health specialists, the HSE and the Minister. What policy actions does he recommend?
