As legislators, we are really concerned about this. INAB is getting State funding. Its job is to accredit laboratories. It is retrospectively stating "That's grand lads, keep going". It is a matter of concern that this is really what is happening. We cannot have it because our international standing is really important. Deputy O'Reilly referred to the weighting. When was the weighting changed from money being more important than quality? Was it 2012?
