The Health Service Executive (HSE) together with the Department of Health and Children published the National Pandemic Influenza Plan and Pandemic Influenza Preparedness for Ireland - Advice of the Pandemic Influenza Expert Group on 15 January 2007.
The purpose of the National Pandemic Influenza Plan was to limit the effects of a potential pandemic, inform the public about pandemic influenza, explain what the government and the health services are doing to prepare for a possible pandemic and give information on what members of the public need to do if there is a pandemic.
