I have heard many doctors in the Covid realm say over the past few months that healthcare would be revolutionised by Covid. Perhaps it will be the start of a movement here because it needs to be normalised. We have far too many hang-ups in Ireland about small things like this. So what if the woman in the corner having her lunch is breastfeeding her baby. Is it not wonderful and why should that baby go without food while everyone else in that café can eat? It needs to be normalised. This committee needs to champion this becoming more normal practice in terms of State advertising.
