Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

In regard to the specific issue Deputy Gilmore raised last week and which has been resolved on the basis of the most up-to-date information, there is genuine regret on behalf of the Health Service Executive that this issue arose in the first place. It is a problem that need not and should not be repeated. I hope that is the case. As I said, there are ongoing industrial relations issues which have been referred to the Labour Relations Commission.
