Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I believe that measures like this should be announced publicly and in advance by agencies. I have always been of that view. People are working under pressure and they advised of this measure. There was nothing secretive about it. When people get a message from the HSE it will be quite transparent.
It is interesting that Deputy Kelly has suggested that we separate out the process from the HSE. I do not know where that idea is coming from. It is a bit late in the day in this pandemic to consider that.
