There have been 84 independent reviews and investigations carried out by the HSE into acute and community operations since January 2019. The HSE took over the running of Dealgan House during the Covid outbreak where 23 people died. Will the Taoiseach support them and insist and ensure that they get closure by having an independent investigation into why these deaths occurred and why the HSE took over the running of that home? It is essential that it happens. On the question of costs being too high, which has been repeatedly put forward here by the Minister, if we can do 84 independent reviews for €622,000, the families believe we can do one into the deaths in Dealgan House.
