Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am very much aware that, at what was a very difficult time in our country and the world, many people in Ireland worked extremely hard to save lives. I am very proud of a lot of the work that was done during Covid. However, it is very important that, after any pandemic, there is a look-back, there are lessons learned and there are answers provided. We are reflecting on the terms of reference. I said that it would be within weeks, and we are still within weeks. I intend to bring those terms to the Government shortly.

Regarding St. Bridget’s specifically, once the terms of reference are clear, I suppose we will be able to ascertain whether that is the appropriate way or whether there are other ways for those families to get the answers or information they require.
