Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

I acknowledge the heartache and distress that has been caused to so many people post Covid. As a Government, we did a lot of things right but we need to make sure that where we could have done things better that we can always learn from that. It will not change things or bring people back but we need to make sure that we engage with everyone who was impacted over the years. Where changes potentially need to take place or where we need to have plans in place - God forbid should anything happen again - we must be able to respond in the most effective way possible. I understand that the terms of reference are coming to Government shortly. Once they are approved, the process itself will start very quickly and we will be able to engage with all parties, including families.
