Covid-19 (Health): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-14
============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I can make a direction under section 10 but from my conversations with the HSE I do not think that is required.
On Dealgan House, my understanding is that HIQA is due to inspect it. I will not be found wanting in taking further action if required. I am happy to discuss the matter with the Deputy.
On the issue of screening, I am awaiting advice from Dr. Colm Henry on how and when it will be safe to proceed and I will provide a timeline at that stage.
