Working Group of Committee Chairmen
Public Policy Matters: Engagement with the Taoiseach

I am sorry; I meant the maternity hospital. The committee was asking that we would be given the adequate time to try to bring in all the different people who are clamouring at the moment to try to get in. We are meeting today for four hours. We were talking about meeting on Friday for another number of hours. We are really racing against the clock here. It is not of our making. I can understand the urgency of trying to get this across the line but if we are really serious about Dáil scrutiny and dealing with this issue, I am appealing that we need time as a committee. We need resources as well. It is again to back up what some of the other Chairs said; many of the staff are exhausted at this stage in relation to the amount of stuff that is going through committees. We need that additional support for which the members are calling.
