Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

On the Morris tribunal, I still agree that there should be an overall discussion. It is anticipated that the next two reports will be available in mid-June. However, if there is an unanticipated delay, I am sure the matter can be reconsidered by the Whips.

On the HSE proposals for voluntary early retirement, I confirm to the House that the HSE is submitting an outline proposal for voluntary early retirement to the Department of Health and Children. This has not yet been considered by the Government.
