Health (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2021-02-25
============================================================

Michael Fitzmaurice (IND), Roscommon-Galway

Meanwhile, there were about 22 infections with the virus in the construction sector. Have we lost the courage to make decisions because we got a bite on the arse at Christmas? I was one of those people who said we should then open up things. I put my hand up in that regard. However, I ask the Government to not lose courage and for its members to stand up and be counted. Getting one bite of a dog does not mean just giving up as a result.
