Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

As I explained to Deputy Enda Kenny, on 10 March the Minister of State, having set up the review group on 8 March, wrote to the chairman of the HSE asking for a validated list of all deaths of children in State care in the past ten years which would be given to the review group for its consideration. The Minister sought that within two days of establishing the group.
