I do not know if Dr. Holohan was the chief medical officer at the time, but the Taoiseach referred to chief medical officer advice on disclosure. Will the committee get that written advice? The advice, as I understand it having been relayed from the Taoiseach, was that, counter-intuitively, mandatory disclosure would lead to less disclosure. I am not asking for the witnesses to relay that information now, but will the witnesses provide that to the committee?
