-----I must be very clear on the record that while I am not interested in Senator Mullen's accusations against me or the Government, his accusations against my officials, against the HSE, against doctors and nurses, and against first-person testimony by GPs here, and that it is somehow cooked up and being brought by identifiable officials in the HSE as a lie that the Government is pressuring them to do, are simply outrageous. I know he will not retract these accusations and I would not waste my time trying, but it is important we put on the record of Seanad Éireann that everything he has just said is verifiably false. If the Senator had a shred of integrity, he would withdraw the accusations, but we will not hold our breath.
