Malcolm Byrne (FF), Cultural and Educational Panel

I want to take up the last comment. I have enormous respect for Senator Keogan but we went through two difficult years with Covid and the vaccine scepticism of herself and Deputy Tóibín is not acceptable. The vaccines were what got us out of the difficulties we face and there was no effort on the part of the Government to prevent people from going for their necessary treatments. The Senator needs to stop spreading these anti-science and anti-vax messages. It is not acceptable. Our health service responded in the best way it possibly could and vaccines were what saw us through the Covid period.
