A consultant geriatrician from Waterford is calling on all those who attended the golf event in Galway to be fired.
Professor Willie Molloy has written to the Taoiseach, Tanaiste, the Minister for Health and the Irish Examiner after 81 people, including Waterford Fine Gael Senator John Cummins attended the dinner on Wednesday, which ran contrary to public health guidelines.
He says he was outraged, hurt and offended by what went on.
"You could show any 10-year-old child in this country a photograph of 80 people sitting in a room - ten to a table - and ask them was that okay? Every 10-year-old child will tell you, no you can't do that, there is no social distancing.
"For 80, supposedly educated, intelligent adults, to sit in a room for the evening and think this was okay is beyond me."
Professor Molloy, who works at St Finbarr's Hospital in Cork, says colleagues and friends of his got Covid and were really sick with it.
"A lot of good friends that I work with on a daily basis are still suffering on a daily basis because of Covid. People have not got their sense of taste back, they have not got their sense of smell back, they still have pains in their back, they are still fatigued, they are still exhausted, they are not over it months later.
"We had an outbreak in our ward very early on and a lot of our staff got it. It is a very serious illness.
"Healthcare professionals go in day after day and are exposed to it and these clowns are up in Galway, sitting around the place thinking that they can totally disregard the rules."
He says the government needs to act immediately.
"I told them first of all that they need to close that hotel, I told them that they need to fire everyone who is on the government employ who was at that dinner.
"I told them they need to quarantine everybody who was at it for two weeks, isolate and test them.
"They need to have backbone, they need to grow a pair, they need to make strong decisions.
"Dara Calleary is gone, Jerry Buttimer is gone, why are those two more guilty than the other ones?"
