I did not get an answer. Professor MacLachlan is not going to issue that statement. I reject what he had to say there because he is not comparing like with like. The reality is that the evidence is on the ground. People are voting with their feet. The doctor in my house would say to our children: "Do not study medicine in Ireland and if you want to study medicine, work abroad. It is not a fit place to work here." The witness has to acknowledge that failure. I will not use the words that are required to describe his responses. They are patronising.
