Barry Andrews (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

The recommendations will need to be taken on board by the relevant statutory authorities and the Ministers responsible. Regarding their implementation, I am seeking advice on how I can circulate to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children the substance of the recommendations and also ensure that the committee would be satisfied that those recommendations would have been followed through. I cannot say what the outcome of that process will be. It is very serious to have recommendations in this fashion. I am constrained by legal advice, there is no other constraint. I have not directed any redaction. I am doing what I can within the confines of the law, and within the rights of people to their privacy and good name. I am motivated by trying to improve circumstances in social work services for adults and children, and to publish as much of it as possible.
