Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I wish to make a brief observation on the issue of the victims of symphysiotomy. This issue has been recognised by the Oireachtas and we have received their written submissions, which will be incorporated in our report. I do not wish to make a political point but is it not the case that it is a political decision to move that forward with a view to compensation and so forth? Even though we are incorporating it in our report, it might be appropriate for them also to engage with the Government and the responsible Ministers.
