Aengus Ó Snodaigh
Question:320. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Health the cost to date to the HSE of the Covid-19 tracker application; the daily numbers checking in their Covid-19 status; the number of close contacts identified as a result of the app in the past five months; his views on whether its usefulness is undermined at this stage given the very limited numbers routinely checking in their status or leaving their tracker on continuously to aid identification of close contacts; if a case has been made to end the service or to encourage the public through a publicity drive to re-engage with application given the dangers of the Indian strain of Covid-19; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
