Covid-19 (Mental Health): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-02-04
============================================================

Chris Andrews (SF), Dublin Bay South

On a separate front, yet another crisis is descending into a state of emergency. A complete lack of concern has been shown by the Government since the start of the pandemic towards those held at direct provision sites. Does the mental health of these men, women and children even register in the thought process of the Government? What provision and supports has the Government put in place for those at direct provision sites who are struggling with their mental health?
