Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (21 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: A number of questions I identified have already been asked so I will not ask the witnesses to answer them again. It is interesting to look back at some of the contributions and the words used. Ms Murphy used the phrase "catapulted into" and Ms Monahan spoke about the context and what Covid-19 was like. Looking back on the time when this happened, obviously, there are things we could not...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (21 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: Given the availability of the flu vaccine, both for healthcare workers and, I understand, target groups - we have identified 1.9 million vaccines - the HSE does not seem to be progressing a population-wide programme with the objective that everyone in the population will have the same level of access that healthcare workers have.

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (Resumed) (21 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: If that is the case, then there is clearly an issue. Those who are representing the workers and the workers themselves do not believe that is available and she is saying that it is. That means there has been a failure to communicate the availability of those services to people. I imagine, given that they are in a state of trauma and are going through a mental health crisis, there is an...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (Resumed) (21 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank Dr. Kelleher. As I said earlier, the world was catapulted into this scenario. There was clearly a lack of preparedness, not by design although there were systematic shortfalls. We struggled to keep up with what was an unexpected pandemic. There will be additional waves. We will not be able to rely on the same response and will have to be more prepared. The figures for...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on International Travel (24 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the witnesses for coming in. The issue of international travel has probably been one of the most controversial issues I have dealt with as a public representative.

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on International Travel (24 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: The Taoiseach confirmed that 134,000 people travelled through Dublin Airport in July. The 2% figure relates to those people who contracted Covid-19 connected to travel at the source. If one applies 2% to the 134,000 it would lead us to have had a much greater spike than we have had. Would Mr. Cullen accept that the 134,000 who travelled through Dublin Airport have not resulted in a...
