Impact of Covid-19 Restrictions: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2020-12-16
============================================================

Duncan Smith (LAB), Dublin Fingal

No interruptions please. Deputy Danny Healy-Rae had his chance. I have only a few minutes and this is an important point to make because this is the light at the end of the tunnel. That there is no mention of the vaccine in this motion is very telling. While they may protest that they are not anti-vaccine, they are. That they do not mention the vaccine in a two and a half page motion on all things Covid is an indictment of where they stand on this fundamentally important issue.
Deputy McGrath is chuckling at what I said. He is the same man who went on a local radio station-----
