Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

Now that we have reached the point of over 90% of adults being fully vaccinated, we should revert to the status quo ante at least when it comes to partners attending maternity services. That is not to say that we should revert to the previous general visiting arrangements. There was probably too much visiting happening in hospitals, bringing infections into hospitals and nursing homes. When it comes to partners attending for maternity appointments, it is the Government's policy that, now that we are at the point of 90% of adults being fully vaccinated, the situation should revert to how it was before.
