Will Mr. O'Brien inform the committee generally if the then health board was aware of the issue and, if so, how many people in the relevant section were aware of it? That is my concern. I will not labour the point but having read the reports into what occurred, I was shocked. It is hard to credit that this could have occurred, notwithstanding which organisation was involved or how poor it was in terms of manpower and so forth, without someone knowing what was happening. Will the HSE interview the individuals who were involved at that time in the section which had responsibility for foster homes?
