The Chair has highlighted this issue on many occasions. The points he has articulated, along with Deputies Lahart and Brophy and many others, came out in the report.

I am looking forward to calling out. I was hoping to call out before Christmas. Unfortunately, I got Covid and I was off for three weeks. As well as this, we had the lockdown. I want to go out as soon as I can and meet with them. The Chair can be assured that the Government is committed to a joined-up approach, as Deputies Lahart and Cathal Crowe rightly said. I want to say that the role that the task forces played in co-ordinating the responses at the local level, as well as the report, is very valuable.
