That is from paragraphs (3) and (4) which lay out the procedural issues involved. The question I am asking is about paragraph (2) and concerns why the Government is choosing to give such extraordinary protection from parliamentary accountability to the chief executive officer of the HSE.

Will she explain how this committee discussing issues with the chief executive officer would jeopardise future court cases?
