Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)

——she more than anybody else has shut down the means of communication established in this House over decades. I have a fundamental question on legislation. Will the Tánaiste change the legislation to ensure the procedures for answering questions in her area of responsibility are channelled through her and the Department of Health and Children so they are in the public domain and on the record? I am not making a frivolous point. I have tabled questions about public health nurses and doctors, social workers, areas of disadvantage and accessing health care.
