Róisín Shortall: Regarding the impediment that the Department will not negotiate with the IDA, Mr. Hourihan said in his presentation that there was a similar impediment to the IMO and that was resolved. Why has it taken so long? The IMO found a way around that in 2014. Why has that problem not been addressed before now? That is a long time ago.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic: National Public Health Emergency Team (13 Apr 2021)
Róisín Shortall: I welcome Dr. Glynn and his colleagues. I thank them for their ongoing work. Dr. Glynn said earlier that we must do all we can to prevent the introduction of new variants and we all agree with that. In that context, I wish to ask some questions about the decisions on mandatory hotel quarantining and the rationale for the selection of those countries included on the list. Will he provide...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
Róisín Shortall: I thank all our guests and thank them for their work. The last speaker has indicated how frustrating it is to get one's hands on basic figures and I do not know why we have to battle for that. We did submit questions before this meeting, which was helpful and worked well. Can we get an undertaking that we can submit questions and receive written replies on a regular basis? We should not...
