Kevin Humphreys (Dublin South East, Labour) | Oireachtas source

We are not taking our policies from English newspapers or from "Panorama". We can certainly learn from others and make sure we do not make mistakes. I take on board the points made by Deputy Ó Snodaigh on Committee Stage and on Report Stage this morning. I think I have reassured Deputy Ó Snodaigh that, when we are taking on medical assessors in this manner, to have such a system is not the intention of the Department or the Government.

I thank all the Deputies for participating in the debate and for the constructive manner in which they have been involved.
