I have been consistent throughout my time as a trade union official and as a member of the Seanad in calling for the most urgent action on this issue. As Ms Moran has said and I readily agree with her, I am not a medical expert and that is why I take the position I have. Another excellent point made by Ms Moran was to ask what type of advice the Minister is getting. That is why we need, not another report, but an independent audit looking at all of the options to report as soon as possible so that we finally put an end to this crisis. That is my call and I am glad to see Ms Moran supports that call. I believe that is the pathway to finally resolving these issues, but I have to be frank that it will not happen under this Government.
