Please, I asked about this investigation several times on the Dáil floor and raised it with several Ministers and the previous Taoiseach. It went from an investigation down to an inquiry and then a HSE report. I think it is a pity that Deputy Fitzpatrick and Senator Mullen asked very pertinant questions today but they did not get answers. I am not getting them either. It is strange and the people that are watching can judge for themselves that any of the rest of the committee do not seem to be concerned about those issues only to say that we are undermining the work. We are here to do a job as Senator O'Sullivan said and do our best, that is all we can do.
