I begin by thanking Mr. Tyndall for his engagement with this committee but more importantly for his courtesy and extraordinary professionalism to us and members of the public. I was a member of the old Committee on Public Petitions and met him on a number of occasions. I offer him sincere thanks for all he has done. Perhaps I am being futuristic. In the event of any review of how the Government and State agencies or bodies such as the HSE or nursing homes have handled Covid-19, does Mr. Tyndall think his office would have a role in that?
