Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Human Rights and Civil Liberty Considerations
Ms Sinéad Gibney:
I will finish the point about the legislative gaps before I pass over to ICCL. The point is that in that second section we focused our analysis on specific pieces of legislation that we believe, had they been in place ahead of the pandemic, would have enabled various groups to better assert their rights throughout the pandemic. These are pieces of legislation that can be progressed. They are ready and waiting to move forward. That is our key message within that section.
