Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I do not know every issue the Ombudsman has raised, nor do I have information on the lack of material he is to receive, but I would be happy to follow through on this issue. Files on individual medical cards should not be lost, as I am sure they are not. I do not understand why they are not available to the Ombudsman who has an independent role and authority. I hope it is not a case of files having disappeared and it not being possible to retrieve them and make them available to an independent authority such as an ombudsman, as one would expect, when he has to make a decision on a legitimate case. We will find out the answer. The Deputy is telling me I am supposed to know all of these details.
