Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (2 Feb 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I wish to raise the issue of overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick, UHL. Since the Government took up office significant inroads have been made, including the provision of new bed blocks. Many good things are happening, but there is still a very acute problem with trolley numbers. On 26 January, this number again broke national records with 111 people waiting for beds. The...

At the outset, I wish to join others in thanking Dr. Holohan, his colleagues and everyone in NPHET for their stellar work over the past two years.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Covid-19 and Easing of Restrictions: Discussion (2 Feb 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I appreciate that. Dr. Glynn is coming to this from health perspective. Everything NPHET has done over the past year has been through the health lens. As a teacher, I must say that mask-wearing is very difficult. So much language is not just about what comes from the voice box; it is about the facial expressions, how the mouth moves and how words are formed. I know that many teachers and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Covid-19 and Easing of Restrictions: Discussion (2 Feb 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I have a question for Dr. Holohan. It is a point that I raised around 12 months ago. Obviously, Dr. Holohan is the Irish number one in terms of public health advice, but he has opposite numbers in each European country. All of them are receiving data from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, ECDC. It has really concerned me right throughout Covid that the ECDC has 290...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Covid-19 and Easing of Restrictions: Discussion (2 Feb 2022)

Cathal Crowe: My next question is for Dr. Holohan. I have praised NPHET which has done a lot of good work. However, there are some areas in which NPHET and, indeed, the other cogs of public health could be accused of tardiness over the past 12 months. There are two that I wish to reference, in particular, and I hope Dr. Holohan can comment on them. The first is the report compiled by the Joint...

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister. It is good that a review is under way and that we have an action plan ahead of us. It is important that schools now are in a position to submit data.
