This is a huge issue. We have opened a huge Pandora's box. Once the committee has heard from the HSE, it will consider whether it needs to do additional work in this regard. Hopefully, there will be further opportunities for the witnesses to speak. On behalf of the committee I thank Mr. Allen, Ms O'Malley, Dr. Long, Mr. Stoker, Ms Lennon and Ms Gilhool for their time. We will suspend the meeting briefly to allow the HSE representatives to take their seats.
