Neasa Hourigan: I completely agree with Deputy Catherine Murphy. I have been reading through the correspondence. The whole issue remains opaque and therefore it would be well worth having a session on the interaction in respect of the fund and how it is being made available to those it should be made available to. Therefore, I support further consideration of this.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Covid-19 in Nursing Homes (2 Feb 2021)
