Is Ms Spillane surprised at this? I have to ask that of the Department of Health. Mr. O'Brien has made it clear that, in his opinion, and he has repeated it four or five times now in fairness, he does not have the authority within the HSE to verbalise what he would like to or what he would like to get out there. He is frustrated. The organisation is frustrated. Has the HSE contacted the Department to try to change policy regulation in any respect to make it easier for the HSE to deal with the individuals who still might be working with children? Has Ms Spillane received any representations or calls from the HSE in that regard?
