Willie O'Dea (Limerick City, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

My question is for the Minister for Health. A year and a half has elapsed since the Government announced the payment of a €1,000 pandemic bonus to front-line workers. As late as last January, according to the Irish Examiner, more than half the non-HSE staff among that cohort had not been paid. Remarkably, not everybody has been paid yet, even though the value of the payment has been eroded by inflation over the past year and a half. People are coming to me from various organisations and individually. It is a lamentable performance by the HSE. What I need from the Minister is a list of the people and the organisations that have not been paid yet and some sort of rough timetable as to how much longer they will be kept waiting.
