Peter Fitzpatrick (IND), Louth

I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. As I have said already, the people of Dundalk and the rest of the country have put their shoulders to the wheel and it is very important that they get clarity. The one question the Taoiseach did not answer is with regard to transport and the people in Carroll Village and the Carnbeg Hotel. Will the Taoiseach guarantee that people who have tested positive are not walking the streets of Dundalk? How are they getting from Carroll Village to the Carnbeg Hotel? This is of major concern.
Last week, I raised in the Dáil the issue of moving the test centre from Dundalk to Ardee. In fairness, the HSE contacted me during the week and invited me to look at the facilities in Ardee. I have to say the facilities in Ardee are absolutely fantastic. I cannot complain. However, I am very concerned, and I ask the Taoiseach to answer my question, please, because I will be asked about this by the people in Dundalk. How are people travelling from Carroll Village? Earlier, the Taoiseach mentioned there were families involved. How are they getting to and from Carroll Village?
