Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

These terms of reference are published. They are available for the Deputy or anybody else to read and nowhere in the terms of reference will one come across a recommendation for the closure of services.

The Deputy asked how much public money was spent on this report. I do not know the answer to that question, but I will have the figure on that sent to the Deputy. He referred to maternity issues. A fortnight ago, I think, I answered a question for the Deputy and told him the Minister was treating this as a matter of great seriousness, but the person recommended as chair subsequently resigned. In regard to the issues arising from the Minister's reply which remain unanswered, I will see they are answered for the Deputy. If Deputy Ó Caoláin wants to send me his particular questions, I will answer them for him.
