Covid-19 Pandemic
Seanad Éireann — 2020-11-24
============================================================

Ned O'Sullivan (FF), Labour Panel

I welcome the Minister of State's answer. I acknowledge that she cannot talk about particular instances and I am reluctant to bring up an individual case. I normally would not do so but as the Minister of State said, this is a rapidly evolving situation. There is concern about it as Listowel has consistently had very high rates of Covid per capita and was one of the highest local electoral areas, LEAs, in the country for a period. It is worrying for us and now it is worrying for other sectors and parts of Kerry as well. What I take from the Minister of State's response is her commitment that the HSE will communicate with the families. I join with her in sympathising with the bereaved and I wish them well at this very difficult time.
