Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Health and Children to apologise to the House for misleading it last week when she denied in reply to a parliamentary question that she had received a copy of the report into the circumstances of the death of Tania McCabe and her baby son at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital when, as was stated by a representative of the Health Service Executive in a statement to the "Loose Talk" programme on LMFM radio on 7 May 2008, the Minister received a copy of the report when it was made public; the need for the Minister to explain why she denied receiving the report; the need for her to explain why, if she did not receive the report as she claims, she did not seek a copy of the report; the need to explain why she told lies to me in this matter and why she had so little interest in the case that she does not even know whether she received a copy of the report——
