Covid-19 Pandemic Supports
Dail Éireann — 2023-05-23
============================================================

Colm Burke (FG), Cork North-Central

I would like to support my colleague on this matter. There was huge commitment and dedication by medical staff throughout the Covid period. They were there to do the best possible job for people who had Covid or other medical care requirements. People contracted it as a result of their commitment. We cannot ignore that some people have long Covid. They contracted it in their place of work and that should be given recognition. Serious consideration should be given to providing for them, particularly while they continue to receive medical care.
