Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community
Soláthar Seirbhísí Sláinte: Plé.
Mr. Paul Reid:
Any publication we set out throughout Covid was in both Irish and English and distributed nationally to the regional health areas and communities and acute services. I will labour the point a small bit. With regard to the focus of the videos, in particular, we were acting on clinical feedback and advice we were getting about vulnerable groups, especially those in ICU. I do not want to go into too much detail on it but there was strong feedback from intensivists and consultants in ICU about migrant communities and their particular exposure. It was a very driven and focused initiative to reduce risk and that is where the risk was.
