Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

My suspicion is often that Sinn Féin wants to undermine regulations, not support them. That was the nature of Deputy Mac Lochlainn's presentation. He had a go at the testing and tracing system, which we debated again last week in the House. That is a robust system compared with other systems in Europe. To describe it as woeful, as the Opposition has on the Sinn Féin side, is desperately unfair to front-line workers who are doing exceptional work on testing and tracing across the country, and doing it well.
