I have a number of questions across different topics. At the very beginning, I need to conclude some stuff on the previous topic. In the interval, while we had the break, I had a chance to speak to Mr. Stephen Teap and Ms Vicky Phelan. It is not good news. I also had the opportunity to listen to Ms Emma Mhic Mhathúna's interview, one of the most emotional interviews ever on RTÉ radio. Ms Phelan stated on "Today with Sean O'Rourke" that, after speaking to Scally, the HSE is not co-operating. This is Ms Vicky Phelan saying this, not me or anyone here. I asked Mr. Connaghan a question earlier. I asked would he be able, by the end of August, to ensure that the HSE had provided full co-operation. Ms Phelan stated on radio, and to me privately as well, that the information was not being provided. According to her conversation with Dr. Scally this morning, there was still information he was not getting, much information was being redacted, and there was much legal process before information was being provided and questions were not being answered. That is what she said. I am paraphrasing what Ms Phelan stated on radio, which is the same as what she said to me.

This is a live situation. This is Ms Vicky Phelan said this on national radio a little less than an hour ago. Ms Phelan is referencing her conversation with Dr. Scally. There is something significantly wrong and Mr. Connaghan is in charge.
