Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Engagement with Institute of Public Health

2:00 am

Dr. Jenny Mack:

That would probably fit under health protection within the public health specialty. We have colleagues in the PHA in Northern Ireland and the HSE who would monitor threats such as those the Senator referenced. It would be part of the job. It would be outside the remit of the institute. However, we work on air pollution, climate change and those broader health protection-type determinants. We have very close relationships with our colleagues in both implementation organisations but, no, that would fall outside the remit of what we would do.
