Apologies to anyone who thought I was denigrating the Republic of Ireland’s HSE. That was never my intention the point I was making is that different countries have different health systems, different demographics & different current circumstances regarding #coronavirus
This is why internationally the approaches of scientific & medical experts differ. I understand the service in Ireland is not totally free at the point of delivery as it is under our NHS & I was under a lot of pressure to answer as many questions on todays programme as possible.
The bottom line is we all have to pull together on this terrible infection & its consequences. Anger, bitterness & division will not help. Please accept my sincere apologies for the unintentional inaccuracies.
