I hope Mr. O'Brien does. I would ask him to do it as a matter of urgency. In my 16 years in the Oireachtas, it was the most harrowing interview that I have heard about any crisis. A lady we heard about yesterday naturally gave an emotional interview this morning where the presenter even became emotional. Any of us who listened would have been emotional. She stated: "I tried to do everything right, by, you know, breastfeeding, and being a full-time mum". She had got a clear result, but "now I'm dying [...] And I don't even know if my little baby is going to remember me."

In light of statements like that and the principle of accountability, does Mr. O'Brien not feel it is untenable for him not to resign his position?
