I will not take more than a minute. It perturbs me to hear the witness say this should have been handled in a more calm, measured way when 18 women are dead and over 200 are affected by this. There are women fighting for their lives. I cannot apologise for there being anger about this. I beg Mr. Connaghan to address the protectionism and the power and control that exist within the HSE. Please do that. I have many years of experience of dealing with the HSE and the Department of Health. There are some excellent and good people in the system. They should be brought to the fore and the others should be made accountable. Get rid of the protectionism, power and control because it costing people their lives and not only in the situation we are discussing today.
