I do not believe that advice was given by the HSE. It is advice that was given by the Chief Medical Officer, which was also advice given at this committee by the Chief Medical Officer. It was accepted by this committee in a report that was produced, and which the Taoiseach has referenced on the floor of the Dáil. I want to be very clear with the Senator that this issue was scrutinised in detail and in a very constructive way by this committee. It produced a very fine report that found in line with the Chief Medical Officer's view.
