I thank the witnesses for coming in this morning. At the start, I give credit to Ms Phelan, Ms Mhic Mhathúna and the husbands of the deceased ladies who are going through a very difficult time. I acknowledge publicly the pain they are all going through. Although much of what I wanted to ask has been covered already, I have a number of questions for a number of the witnesses. I would like to use my time hearing their answers.

Dr. Holohan said it in his opening statement but I ask him to categorically state that no Minister, specifically the Minister for Health, was told anything about this at the time.
