Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 March 2021
132. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Transport the details of the meetings, correspondence and engagements he and his officials have had with a group (details supplied); if he will specifically address the concerns outlined by the group; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11418/21]
View answerI understand that a number of press releases from the group in question have been received by my office. Neither my officials nor I have had any engagement or correspondence with the group.
As the Deputy is aware, the Department of Health is the lead Government Department in relation to public health matters, including COVID-19.
Measures to protect public health are recommended to the Government by the National Emergency Public Health Team (NPHET) within the Department of Health, and my Department and its agencies follow the Government's public health advice.
