Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I appreciate the Deputy's concerns about the Ebola outbreak. The outbreak in West Africa is very serious. Our main efforts are obviously to support the work taking place there through the Department of Foreign Affairs, the World Health Organization, the European Commission and various aid agencies on the ground. We must issue travel advice and have measures in place to identify a case quickly should it occur in Ireland, and ensure that any person affected is isolated at the isolation unit in the Mater, provided he or she is fit to be transferred there. Therefore, we have plans and contingency arrangements in place. General practitioners and other doctors have been advised of the diagnostic algorithm and what to do should a case be suspected in their offices or surgeries.

I do not know whether we have a stock of the particular drug the Deputy mentioned, but I will certainly check that out.
