Covid-19 Pandemic
Dail Éireann — 2023-04-20
============================================================

Gino Kenny (PBP), Dublin Mid-West

I thank the Minister. We welcome that. A conference on long Covid is due to be held today. We are only beginning to understand the evolution of long Covid. Many have been affected by this extremely debilitating condition. We probably all know someone who is suffering from it. In some circumstances, it has changed their life and put it on hold. Some people who had been very healthy contracted Covid and their lives changed, although the good news is the vast majority will recover from long Covid. People who are in that position want to access the best interventions possible in respect of not only respiratory issues but also cognitive impairment.
Sometimes the latter is lost in all the intervention that we are talking about regarding long Covid.
