Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2021

The issue of pregnant women was raised with Professor Karina Butler and...

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (22 Apr 2021)

David Cullinane: I thank the Minister for that response. I believe it is an urgent issue. One of the lessons we have surely all learned over the past year is that we must, at all times, stay ahead of the virus and new variants.
