Covid-19 Pandemic
Dail Éireann — 2021-10-20
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

In response to Deputy Paul Murphy's question, I strongly reject his assertions that the Government has been, in his words, "incredibly reckless" with regard to schools. The Deputy wanted zero Covid and who swore by public health advice. The Minister for Education has consistently followed public health advice in respect of schools, yet the Deputy just ignored it in his contribution.
