Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-02-11
============================================================

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

Deputy Michael Collins stated that those in nursing homes were left to die. I think that is a very unfair comment. It is scaremongering. To date, 1,734 people have died in nursing homes, but the nurses, staff and carers have worked their fingers to the bone to try to ensure that these people were not left to die. It is unfair of the Deputy to say that.
