Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I want to make a point about Dealgan House, where 23 people died during Covid-19. In January, the Taoiseach promised me in the Dáil that the Government or the Department of Health was examining options to respect and meet the needs of the families and their concerns about these deaths. Since then we have heard absolutely nothing. It is a disgrace that the Department of Health is refusing to act in this matter. I challenge the Minister, if these were children we would have our inquiry. Is it because they are older citizens that we hear nothing from the Department?
