The independent COVID-19 Evaluation wants to understand the wide-ranging impacts. This Consultation gives you an opportunity to share your personal experience.

Consultation and Engagement Approach
Wide-ranging consultation seeks to capture people’s lived experiences of the pandemic right across Irish society. The public survey does this by drawing out personal experiences and how this may vary for different people. This is supplemented by opportunities for individuals and representatives to provide more detailed contributions. This mixed approach seeks to maximise participation and provide a solid understanding of diverse perspectives.
Key themes and insights from consultations will be made available on the Evaluation’s website in a phased way, to give the process greater validity.
There will be a separate consultation with Children and Young people. There will also be further consultation relating to long term residential care facilities for older persons / Nursing Homes.
Consultation will encompass a variety of methods including publicly streamed roundtables, and specific private or group sessions.
