Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I do not have that information at present. The only place where there is any information about that of which I am aware at this point is in the file that the Ministers, Deputies Zappone and Harris, have in relation to the contacts of HSE and counsellors. I do not have that information but I will try to get it in terms of reply to the questions from Sergeant McCabe in regard to the contact between the counsellor and the HSE and so on. If I can get any information that I can give to Sergeant McCabe I will do that. I must, however, make the point that if it is connected with the establishment of and central to the issues that are to be examined by the tribunal of inquiry then it would be unfair to other parties to do so because it would be seen as a preferential response to one party. As I said already, that is my legal advice. I do have to be careful that I do not do that. None of us would want to see that happen because it would mean that other parties could say that the origins of the tribunal of inquiry were unfair to them. I have to be careful in terms of what precise information I can give.
