Covid-19 (Health): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-21
============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I became aware of it this week, I believe. I have heard this mentioned during the day and I have heard people asking the Taoiseach to clarify the matter etc. I am open to correction from the authorities in the Oireachtas but my understanding is that the Oireachtas brought in a public health expert. I heard Deputy O'Reilly describe the person as an independent public health expert.
