Will the Minister commit to a public inquiry, during his tenure as Minister for Health, into what happened in nursing homes? All the evidence points to the need for such an inquiry into each one of the deaths that occurred and why there was such a catastrophe. Behind the statistics I gave are grandmothers, grandfathers, fathers and mothers. The data make for really grim reading and they warrant a public inquiry at this moment in time.
