He said: “The news that Kilminchy Lodge Nursing Home in Portlaoise has confirmed that it is dealing with 31 associated cases – 21 amongst residents and 10 amongst staff – is a very concerning development.

“I have contacted the HSE about this outbreak, and have sought answers as to what is being done to contain the situation in the nursing home, what support is being made available and whether HSE staff are being made available to assist with the situation.

"I know two STAUNCH Fianna Fáil supporters, and they told me that they would never ever vote Fianna Fáil again because you drove their 4 children to the 4 corners of the world."

A Sinn Féin Gov would prioritise housing and build the homes that our people need. @ThomasGouldSF
