Covid-19 (Health): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-06-17
============================================================

Frankie Feighan (FG), Sligo-Leitrim

We were very thankful that Sligo was one of the few counties that went 29 days without any further Covid-19 infections. We did have one new case last night but we hope we can go another 29 days without any more.
I thank the Minister and his officials for meeting representatives of the Irish Dental Association, which is something I called for in the Dáil more than three weeks ago. Their situation was an issue that needed to be dealt with and I thank the Minister for doing so.
I will conclude by being a bit self-indulgent in telling the Minister that every night my wife sees him on the television and tells me how old he has become. It makes me feel very good that he is at least 25 years younger than me.
