My Department has been at the forefront of efforts to protect the public from COVID-19 and manage the spread of the disease in the community, since the pandemic was declared in early 2020. In that time, several pieces of public health legislation were drafted and brought through the Houses of the Oireachtas. In addition, an unprecedented number of Statutory Instruments were drafted to give legal force to the public health measures recommended by NPHET and approved by Cabinet.
