Information given to Meath West TD Peadar Tóibín by the HSE shows that over 40% of Covid-19 deaths in Ireland were linked to Hospital outbreaks or Nursing Homes.
According to the Aontú leader 27% of Covid deaths were in Nursing Homes.
Deputy Tóibín is now calling for a full investigation of the Government's handling of Covid 19.
The Meath West TD said it is phenomenal to think that throughout Covid, the government were restricting people to 2km from their home and preventing people from going to funerals, school or work, when in reality the most dangerous place you could be was in a nursing home or a hospital.
Deputy Peadar Tóibín continued by saying the Government has stated that there will be a "review" and not an investigation, Aontú says this is not acceptable.
