Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We need to find out the facts and the circumstances now. This investigation, with an eminent chairman and with persons from outside Galway University Hospital is independent and will do nothing less than the highest level of investigation as to what happened here. Why should these persons put their integrity and their reputation on the line to do anything other than that? The Galway hospital staff, who have been working in delivering 3,000 babies this year, want their reputation and integrity maintained. Something happened in this case where, unfortunately, a woman tragically died and we need to find that out as quickly and as expeditiously as we can in the public, the family, the medical personnel and the nation's interest. If Deputy Adams has any influence on making the consultation to which he referred happen, he should make it happen and let this investigation get on with its fundamentally important work of finding out what happened in this case.
