I want to get my head around this. Let us say there was a proposal to investigate an issue relating to a particular disability and to ask what the policy thinking was and what Cabinet consideration was given. What is the constitutional position with regard to calling in the Minister for health who was in office at the material time to discuss the Cabinet or departmental thinking? Does one have to distinguish specifically between Department thinking and Cabinet thinking?
