TCD confirmed that the role is a secondment from the Department of Health

In what has been described as a 'most peculiar' development by the opposition, it has now emerged that Dr Holohan will take an indefinite secondment

It was reported that the advert garnered 1,600 complaints since airing, according to the UK's Advertising Standards Agency

The HSE, the Chief Medical Officer, and representatives from the civil service will all be involved

The Government chose to disregard the advice and put the whole country in Level Three
