I gave notice to the Chair and the Secretary General that I wanted to raise a local issue which has been covered very extensively nationally. I refer to the mortuary in Waterford and the reporting of very concerning claims that were made by four consultant pathologists. The Minister for Health has said there will be a review of the operations of the mortuary. Can Mr. Breslin and Mr. Curran give us an update on that? We are being told it will progress and that a new mortuary will be built. This is the first time Mr. Curran and Mr. Breslin have been before a committee since the story broke. Can they give us some indication of where the review is at the moment and of where the project is?
