Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
Dail Éireann — 2021-11-16
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The Deputy does not look at this issue from a purely public health perspective. He looks at it from a party or movement advancement perspective. That is my genuine take-away. The Deputy was an advocate for zero Covid for a long time, but now he will not even facilitate the extension of legislation to give capacity for Government to do things, if necessary, in the middle of an emergency. He objects to that and makes a big deal about objecting to that.
