Covid-19: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-08
============================================================

Róisín Shortall (SD), Dublin North-West

To pick up on a point the Minister made, the practice is not to publish NPHET's letters until the Cabinet makes a decision. They do not come out straight after NPHET meets. Let us get matters clear about the leaking of the letter or the information about the recommendation to move to level 5. Did the Minister or anybody associated with him leak that information?
