I know we have timetabled dealing with this issue when the HSE is in front of us again in a few weeks' time but I share some of the concerns. Having been on the other side of an organisation receiving reports, one tends to want to be happy with the report that is finally published. It gets tweaked and goes forward and backwards even if it is independent. We are getting a steer for some of the questions we should address from the whistleblower and I wonder whether we should have further engagement with the whistleblower in advance of the meeting with the HSE. What we do not want to do is go on a merry-go-round where we have the HSE before us and there are questions that are not asked when we had that meeting. The letter is one thing but expanding on the letter, regardless of whether we do it in private session, as we did before, would be useful.
