Paudge Connolly (Cavan-Monaghan, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, the continuing delay by the Health Service Executive in releasing to the Walsh family the report into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Pat Joe Walsh at Monaghan General Hospital in October 2005; a report which has not been released to the family eight months later, despite an initial estimate of eight weeks for its compilation; a report which has been in the possession of the Health Service Executive for over six weeks without reference to the Walsh family; and call for the Pat Joe Walsh report to be released forthwith to the Walsh family prior to its general publication.
