The terms of reference for Ireland’s covid inquiry are to be brought to Cabinet “shortly”, according to Simon Harris, who said the format should encourage transparency.

A review of how Ireland handled the covid-19 pandemic is expected to analyse the Government’s response, how hospitals and nursing homes coped and the effect it had on society and the economy.
