Catherine Murphy (Kildare North, Social Democrats) | Oireachtas source

The Taoiseach dealt with the issue relating to Deputy Cowen and what he knew. He went on to talk about the legislative programme. We all understand that there is a high degree of co-operation from the Opposition on this but it will be all at nought if we end up with a second wave similar to the one we have already had and we have to lock down a second time. This is why people are so concerned about travel from the United States in particular at present, or other countries at the epicentre. There is no confidence. We have seen on the television that restaurateurs have become those who vet people and ask them whether they have recently arrived and self-isolated. This tells us there is no confidence in the systems in place. We know that it is an offence not to fill out the locator form correctly but people do not have confidence regarding the arrival of flights or the follow up.
