Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

This is a tragic case and I am not going to say anything in this House without being in possession of the facts. I read the reports this morning and I listened to commentary about the matter. There are two investigations taking place. It is only right and appropriate that the facts be determined by both of those investigations. When they are presented to the Minister for Health, he will bring the findings to Cabinet, they will be published, and we can then decide what is the best thing to do. Anything we can do will not bring back the good woman who passed away.

I read out for Deputy Adams the terms of reference of the expert group dealing with the A, B and C case. I confirm again for the Deputy that the report was delivered last night. The Minister has not seen it and he has not read it. He has a duty and responsibility to do so and to bring the report to the Government, and the Government will make a decision based on the options that are set out in the report, which was part of the expert group's remit.
