David Cullinane: I apologise, but I only have a short time remaining and I want to make a final comment before Mr. Hourihan's colleague contributes. In the health services generally, a great deal of catch-up care will be needed, given that a considerable amount of non-essential care was paused.

Vaccination Programme and Covid-19: Statements (1 Apr 2021)

David Cullinane: Unfortunately, we all get a front row seat at the Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael Party Parliamentary meetings. That is the nature of those parties' meetings. It was reported that the Minister and Taoiseach stated the figure would be 860,000. The Minister is now saying it will be 1 million. This is what confuses people.

Vaccination Programme and Covid-19: Statements (1 Apr 2021)

David Cullinane: With respect, it is not about jumping up and down. We accept that they are estimated figures and if they change, they change.

This has to be the start of finally delivering a new beginning for carers.
