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

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I have outlined the very specific NPHET advice for Dublin, which the Government has decided to follow. There have been differences from the beginning. The original roadmap was not 100% identical to the advice of NPHET. There is a natural interface there. Deputy Kelly was among the first to come into the House and say that NPHET was too influential. I do not entirely agree. Public health advice is key to dealing with the pandemic. That was the original position which we all adopted in this House.
