HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion

12:00 pm

Mr. Tony O'Brien:

It would be the easiest thing in the world for me to make my life apparently easier by publishing these reports. If I did so, I would be interfering with the Garda inquiry, I would be guaranteeing that no one would ever get convicted and I would be guaranteeing that no one could ever be disciplined. I will not make my life easier in that sense by doing that just because it would be the popular thing to do. Unfortunately, some of us have particular responsibilities that place us in positions where we cannot just follow our instincts. We have to do what the law requires us to do. That is really uncomfortable for all of us.
