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

If I could answer that question in terms of structures, we already have a lot of structures and they are operating effectively. We have the national public health emergency team, there is an expert advisory group, and we have a Cabinet sub-committee, which has access to expertise. Of course I am willing to consider any proposal for an additional structure or task force, but I would have to understand exactly what it is, how it would work and who would be on it. I am very open to considering that but would need to see some sort of detailed or fleshed-out proposal, or would welcome one anyway. I am sure I could come up with one myself but I would certainly welcome a fleshed-out, considered suggestion.
