Marc MacSharry: I am grateful for the opportunity to make a few points about finance initiatives that are needed to support business. There has been much talk over the past number of months about the need to support small business in particular and the talk has been encouraging from all sides. We now have a Government in place. Indeed, it was remiss of me not to wish the Government well and wish the...

Stephen Donnelly: I thank the Deputy and I am with him in this regard. I wish to acknowledge the pain and suffering of the Meehan family. The situation and the case we all saw reported is heartbreaking and shocking. I cannot begin to imagine what the Meehan family have been going through over the past few months.

Darren O'Rourke: I thank the Minister for his reply. I return to the issue of the reports and planning as to where we go from here. That is really important and I do not want to leave that point. The family seeks an independent review of this case and this needs to remain on the table here, notwithstanding the fact that the HSE and HIQA are involved in this. Can the Minister indicate what the HIQA and HSE...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Covid-19 Pandemic (7 Jul 2020)
Stephen Donnelly: I agree. According to our public opinion tracking research, the level is now 45%. I imagine that is variable. It is probably variable by public transport compared with retail, or by types of retail or different workplaces and different parts of the country. It will be interesting to see whether there are some areas where there is a lot of compliance. The solidarity and uptake in the...

As others have said, many people are really depending on him and the system needs all the support it can get. I thank the Minister for coming here to answer questions on the extremely important issue of the Kilbrew nursing home and the care of Ultan Meehan. His family want this issue raised at the very...

Stephen Donnelly: I thank Deputy O'Rourke for raising this and acknowledge his kind words. The Deputy has raised this issue and continues to do so, and is advocating strongly on it. It may be useful if I read out the official position which sets out the statutory framework on what is happening. Before I do so, I will answer the Deputy's questions directly. I took down three, but I think there were more....

Duncan Smith: I congratulate the Minister for Health, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, on his new post and genuinely wish him every success. Particularly with a Ministry such as Health, his success will be the success of the entire nation in keeping us all healthy.
