I am fully aware of all the evidence that Professor Finn is quoting. Will Professor Finn enlighten us on where the breakdown is between what he is speaking to and the HPRA? Professor Finn maintains the HPRA is not fit for purpose. Why does he believe, in his professional opinion, there is a barrier with respect to the HPRA? I have my own views but I am keen to hear from Professor Finn given his experience as outlined? Where has it fallen down?
