Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I absolutely share the Deputy's concern and heartbreak about what has happened.

What I will commit to is that the right approach will be taken to answering the questions that need to be answered for the families. In CervicalCheck, for example, the right answer was deemed not to be a public inquiry but the most excellent work that Dr. Scally did. That led to many recommendations which are being implemented and to the setting up of the tribunal which will happen in the next few weeks. It is a discussion for the Oireachtas and for Government to see what the most appropriate mechanism is. The Deputy and I were very involved in CervicalCheck and I think we would all agree that the work Dr. Scally did was the right approach in that instance. We need to consider what the best approach is for the families of the people who have passed away to ensure their voices are heard and they get answers and transparency and that this is done in a timely way and does not kick on for years.
