Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I said there were no inspections in the home that was part of the hostel, and there were not. The records were extensively checked through an enormous amount of effort by officials in both Departments to see whether inspections were carried out in the mother and baby home that was part of the hostel. Approximately 30 Deputies have asked me questions on this matter and I asked the Departments to investigate it. There were no inspections and no amount of emotion or shouting will change that position.
