- Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid 19: Implications of a Zero-Covid Island Policy (13 Aug 2020)
Paul McAuliffe: It is incredibly interesting listening to experts at different points in the debate discuss matters with each other. In many ways, perhaps us listening to that more would be useful but I suppose where we, as public representatives, can contribute to the debate is in our experience of dealing with the general public. There was much talk at the beginning of this pandemic about flattening the...

Paul McAuliffe: I appreciate Mr. Reid and his team coming to us again today. I will take us back to the first days in March when there was an outbreak in a local school in my constituency. Some of the communications around the early stages were possible because there was a small number of incidents. Given the reopening of schools taking place, has the HSE looked at the communication strategy for what will...

- Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: State Response to Recent Spike in Covid-19 Cases (Resumed) (26 Aug 2020)
Paul McAuliffe: I congratulate all the public health officials and support them in their work.
