Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael)

It is clear that more information is being supplied to the HSE for the audit, which is important, and it needs to be assessed and published. It is being examined and incorporated into the report. There are also legal implications. When one rewrites a report, natural justice demands that one go back to the people who gave the information. That is also part of what has to happen and it is built into the June timeframe.

I understand the Deputy's impatience to see the audit report, but we must remember the voices of the victims in Cloyne and the torture experienced by young children. It is critical that we have the report and can indicate the current situation relating to child protection practices in the church.
