Government 'determined' to hold 'comprehensive' covid-19 inquiry — Varadkar

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar: 'I have an abiding memory and that’s being whisked out of the Ireland Funds dinner in 2020 in the middle of the meal to be told that there was a meeting on Nphet under way and that the pandemic had come to Ireland.'

The Government is determined to press ahead with a covid inquiry but finding people to sit on it will be challenging, the Taoiseach has admitted.

Leo Varadkar has confirmed a memo on the terms of the covid inquiry would come to Cabinet in the "coming weeks" and it is hoped the group could be set up soon afterwards.
