Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

-----from the Department of Health and the HSE. I assume that when they conclude their deliberations on the policy, ceiling and rates of expenditure, that will become public information. I hope it can be completely authenticated so that if the Deputy's party wants to submit a set of proposals for independent costing, that can apply.

In respect of ministerial decisions, they are all publicly available. Issues relating to the Deputy's party or any other party are not subject to freedom of information in the same way as public business. Ministers, I am quite sure, keep a record of decisions made, and they are available for public scrutiny.
