Covid-19 Pandemic Supports
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-16
============================================================

Ged Nash (LAB), Louth

We are seeking an update on the roll-out of the pandemic recognition payment to front-line workers who are not directly employed by the HSE. Hardly a day goes by when I do not receive an email or phone call from an agency nurse or a contract security guard who may have worked throughout the pandemic in an acute hospital setting but has yet to receive the payment. I seek a status update on that process and why there are so many delays.
