Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I take what the Deputy said very seriously. This is a very important matter. The safety of staff in our emergency departments, which is an area on which she wishes me to focus with regard to this question, should be of paramount importance. I will get a report from the HSE about all our emergency departments. Where they have security staff within the emergency department, I will share that information with the Deputy and other health spokespeople in this House and will commit to engaging with the INMO and the HSE to make sure there is security staff in all emergency departments. I will revert to the Deputy when I have that information.
