Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (16 Dec 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I wanted to ask a follow-up question on the EWSS which has been important in keeping businesses going. The Minister gave a county breakdown to Deputy Crowe. Does he have a similar breakdown of the sectors that are receiving EWSS? The scheme involves a huge amount of money. A larger budget than many Departments have has been, and continues to be, spent on it. Are sectors still...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am terribly sorry to interrupt. I gave the witness a little extra time to make those points about An Garda Síochána but I am afraid we are a good bit over time now.

I call on Ms. O'Regan, who has three minutes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Minorities Engaging with the Justice System: Discussion (24 Nov 2021)

I will use this opportunity to again call for a radically different relationships and sexual education programme that is fully inclusive and that is taught from the very earliest stages. That would be a real means of addressing some of these issues. For the benefit of witnesses attending today, I will mention that last week...

Representatives from the HSE recently appeared before the committee to discuss the procurement of the personal protective equipment, PPE, that had to be sourced.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: There is significant concern about the third vaccination dose, or booster, roll-out.

Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: In feedback, pharmacists have told me this morning that they were contacted yesterday by a new relationship manager in the HSE to do precisely that and to get vaccines out.

I am thinking of one pharmacy in Blackrock that ordered an additional 800,...
