In his opening remarks, Mr. Breslin spoke of the brave testimony. This galls me. There is no point in coming here to talk about brave testimony if one is not going to give substance to what is being discussed. He referred to how this raised "profound questions". They are not just questions but profound questions. If these questions are so profound can I ask Dr. Holohan, when he reflects on the memorandums from 2016, why the profoundness of the issue did not jump off the page at that stage? Can Mr. Breslin say why the profoundness did not jump off the page to whatever Department of Health official reviewed it at the time? Has Mr. Breslin sought out or spoken to that person?
