Guím beannachtaí na féile Bríde ar an Taoiseach. This is similar to the issue raised by the previous speaker. On Saturday, I attended the Care Champions event in DCU. It was clear from listening to the moving and, at times, harrowing testimonies from families, nursing home residents and staff that there is an overwhelming need for a human rights-based inquiry into what happened in nursing homes during the pandemic. Families, including those from Dealgan House, want the truth about how and why their loved ones died. When will the Government announce a timeline for such inquiries?
