Louise O’Reilly calls for clarification on results discrepancy

Louise OR' Reilly

Sinn Féin health spokesperson Deputy Louise O’Reilly has called for the government to clarify the reason for the discrepancy in results between their numbers and those issued by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.

Speaking this evening, Teachta O’Reilly said: “We all understand the need for certainty and clarity regarding the confirmed COVID-19 case rate in the state.

“Currently there is a discrepancy surrounding confirmed cases as the government numbers differ from the total confirmed cases according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).

“The ECDC numbers are showing we currently have 12% more confirmed cases of COVID-19 than have been officially confirmed here.

“The ECDC are reporting that the number of cases is 7,393, whereas the official records here are indicating  6,574 cases.

“I hope that the government can clarify this discrepancy as soon as possible so that there is no confusion about the situation here.”

The third and final day of a fantastic Ploughing. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Sinn Féin tent for a chat over the last few day.

Sinn Féin in Government would stand up and ensure a future for our family farmers and deliver a fair deal for rural Ireland.

It was totally irresponsible for the Minister for Health to travel abroad possibly knowing the scandal at Temple Street Children’s Hospital was going to break.

This scandal raises serious questions around transparency, discipline, oversight & clinical governance. @davidcullinane
