Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is not my practice to agree to meetings in the Chamber. That would not be fair on the very many people who do not have a Deputy to raise a request in the Chamber for them. I understand that the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, has already met with them on behalf of the Government. We are scoping out how best to carry out an inquiry into how Covid was managed in this State with a view to finding out how we could do better should there be another pandemic in the future.
