- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Covid-19 Pandemic (12 Feb 2021)
Mary Butler: I thank the Cathaoirleach for the warm welcome and Senator Casey for the very important issue he has raised. He is quite right; it was raised several times yesterday in the Dáil when Minister for Health, Deputy Donnelly, and I were answering questions on the Covid-19 vaccine.

Mary Butler: It is not so much about playing catch-up. I looked into this situation to see why some religious orders were registered with HIQA and others were not. They took that decision themselves. My understanding is that this situation dates to 1992 when nursing homes were first regulated. I am open to correction on that but there was an opportunity then. Some religious orders that operate...
