Covid 19 (Health): Statements

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

I have written down three and will do my very best to answer them. In regard to the situation of people in receipt of carer services, I am not trying to obfuscate. I am trying to make the point that it is not a question with a "Yes" or "No" answer. NIAC has given a prioritisation process and some people in receipt of carer services will be higher up or lower down that list. Being over the age of 70 will have a person in one group and having an underlying condition will put one in a different group. People can be in receipt of carer services and fit into neither of those categories, in which case they will be in a different group again.
