I am conscious that we have witnesses waiting to come in. I note the points Deputy Cullinane makes. The HSE has confirmed it will attend and the questions the Deputy raises will be communicated to it. The clerk, Mr. McEnery, is in contact with NPHET and it is hoped that its representatives will be able to confirm they will come in next Tuesday. I have written to the Minister for Health and the Taoiseach with regard to the presence of somebody from the Executive, which ultimately makes the decisions based on recommendations. I cannot do any more at this stage.
