The Taoiseach has favoured the term "evaluation", looking over the past period as opposed to a critical inquiry in the negative sense. I favour that too.

There were some popular voices who assisted in the transmission of information and who helped to build up a body of public confidence. The obvious one, I suppose, that comes to mind is Professor Luke O'Neill. It has always intrigued me as to who made it on to National Public Health Emergency Team, NPHET, what the process was, whether someone such as Professor O'Neill was ever considered and whether there was interaction between NPHET and people such as him, Professor Jack Lambert and Professor Sam McConkey.
