Clare Independent TD Michael McNamara has been elected as the chair of the Dáil’s new special committee on COVID-19.
The Scariff TD has been voted into the position by a majority of TDs, with Sinn Féin’s David Cullinane the only other nominee.
This committee is set to be a high profile one, as it will be tasked with holding to account those making the big decisions about the country’s response to the Coronavirus.

This will include health officials and senior Ministers, and speaking this morning Deputy McNamara said it’s important that they are questioned about their decisions.
