Covid-19 (Health): Statements

============================================================

Neale Richmond (FG), Dublin Rathdown

I have two very brief questions. A number of people have mentioned the issue of a co-ordinated response to when we might move out of the restrictions process. Will the Taoiseach detail what engagement he has had with either the President of the European Commission, Ms Ursula von der Leyen, who set out the roadmap, or with the British Prime Minister or Government on how this could be co-ordinated?
With regard to the provision of childcare raised by Deputy Mattie McGrath, will the Taoiseach update the House on what stage we are at regarding the provision of childcare not just for front-line staff but other essential workers who are coming under pressure?
