Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Why is it that, eight months later, we could not have been advised that in this particular area, there were some 20 reports that were not yet published? That would be part of the information that was clearly sought and up to this point has been withheld but could be so easily shared with everybody today on "Morning Ireland". That points up a major deficiency within the system in terms of accountability by Departments, particularly the Department of Health and Children, and the HSE. I urge action on the part of the Government to make sure we will not see a continuation of this worst practice situation. I join with Deputies Kenny and Gilmore in again requesting the Government to accommodate a proper opportunity to address these very important matters, including the TF case, before close of business today.
