I agree with the Chairman's ruling. It is the appropriate thing as fair procedure is always necessary and is of the utmost importance. There is such a range of issues here. Deputy McDonald has raised many of them. I have serious concerns that some of the people who have been referenced are still working in the HSE. I have serious concerns around the accuracy of previous evidence given to the Committee of Public Accounts given what we now know and in correlating this information with what was told to this committee on previous occasions. Within a week this committee can have a written statement from Mr. Tony O'Brien and the HSE, and very soon after that the committee is going to have to deal with the matter. I ask the Chairman to ensure that this happens.
