Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The issue of Covid dominates tomorrow's agenda, and rightly so. The Deputy wants to raise questions relating to the health service and so on. The reality is our personnel and the people on the front line are performing heroically, as I stated earlier, and they are doing extraordinary work on behalf of all of us. That is why we want to get the numbers down. That is why we want to continue both to get case numbers down and to keep them down, and reduce the pressure.
