On section 38s, Mr. O'Brien probably would not have got so far with his investigation had it not been for the public uproar caused by the hearings we had here. Section 39s are in the same vein. Both section 38s and section 39s gave a clear indication to the public that the HSE had no handle on how either section was behaving in terms of accountability.
