Coronavirus: Statements

============================================================

Seán Ó Fearghaíl (CC), Kildare South

Deputy Sherlock has made a very valuable contribution but I should point out that we are not in a constitutional lacuna. The Constitution is quite clear in respect of the responsibilities that exist for the Government, albeit a caretaker Government, and any Government that existed before it or any Government that may come into existence after it.
I now call Deputy Jennifer Whitmore, who will share time with Deputy Cian O'Callaghan. Is this Deputy Whitmore's maiden contribution?
