Departmental Functions
Dail Éireann — 2020-09-08
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I agree with the basic point that the Deputy made about Caritas and the Sisters of Charity where workers are being left in an impossible situation. Many groups have provided very good services down through the years but it is my view that the State needs to step up and do more over time.
It is my understanding that the Tánaiste requested an aide-de-camp.
