I thank both couples for coming in today. I wish to say how sorry I am personally for the loss of their babies. I am grateful, however, for what Róisín Molloy described as turning into a "mad mammy" and not going quietly. Otherwise we would not be sitting here with her today. The system and process failure would be bad enough if there had not also been a systematic and intentional cover-up over the past four years at every level of organisation in the HSE. I am so ashamed by how they and others have been treated. The only commitment we can give is that we are four-square behind the witnesses to ensure that whatever the committee can do it will do.

Róisín and Mark Molloy have detailed chronologically all of the correspondence. I want to ask them specifically about their meeting with both Philip Crowley and Greg Price who are directors of the patient safety authority directorate and the patient advocacy authority. They are the two most senior people in the HSE for the matters we are talking about. Róisín and Mark Molloy had a meeting with them to discuss their experience. Can they describe that meeting, including how they were treated and how they felt? What were the outcomes of the meeting? Arising from that meeting, what actions were agreed by Mr. Crowley and Mr. Price? Have those actions taken place so far?
