Billy Kelleher (Cork North Central, Fianna Fail)

I welcome the amendment. The issue arose previously in the context of the previous Minister trying to access information from the HSE. The situation became contentious at times which did not look good from the perspective of the public given that the Minister was almost being refused information by a statutory body. Was the abolition of the HSE taken into account in the drafting of the legislation? Given that the change has been signalled, is there a seamless way to proceed rather than going through a detailed amendment process?
