Twenty minutes have gone by and I have to let people in. We appreciate everything Mr. Quinn has said. We have heard it before with all the different groups. As I said to Mr. Quinn outside, every one of the reports we have seen are nearly cut-and-paste. Some of the reports that we got from the HSE that are redacted will come up later. It is a scandal that we cannot get an indication as to when decisions were made by the HSE, HIQA or whoever, even to show us when decisions were made. We were told at one stage that it was opinions by officials in the HSE that closed some places.

I will ask one question, and I will let other members in then. The HSE said there was a review to be done on the decision to close Seven Springs. The witnesses met HSE officials on 8 May. Did they elaborate on what they meant by a review? The correspondence that we here in the committee received on 29 June does not reference anything about a review.
