Covid-19 (Health): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-06-11
============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I will. I will undertake that my office will make contact today with the HSE and Beaumont Hospital to outline our view. I could say more but in the interests of time I do not think the Deputy would wish me to. The health research regulations do provide for an independent and diverse health research consent declaration committee and an independent appeals panel, which has to have regard to the evidence before it, and it sets the safeguards and the time limits, and the regulations do say that I cannot intervene in any of that.
