Statement from the Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly

I would like to extend my condolences to the Chief Medical Officer, Dr Tony Holohan, and his children Clodagh and Ronan following the death of Dr Emer Holohan née Feely.

The thoughts and prayers of Tony’s colleagues in the Department of Health are with Emer’s family, including her parents, siblings, and her friends, as indeed are those of many people across the country.

I would like to reiterate the request for the privacy of the family to be respected at this time.

ENDS
